DO YOU THINK YOU ARE 100% PROTECTED FROM THIEVES?

Imagine there is a way for thieves to enter your home as if you gave them a key. Are you completely convinced that only you have a set of keys from your home? There is an insider secret that is very low-tech that the bad guys know about but you probably don’t. It’s called a bump key and anyone can order them on the Internet for less than $20.

Years ago, this secret was known only by the robbers, but today, thanks to the global network, anyone can understand how to use this kind of keys and get easy access to your home. A simple online search will give criminals the solution they need to gain easy access to every property.

To open a door, you only need to bump the special key. It is a special modified key that fits into every standard lock. Works by bumping the pins in the lock cylinder out of the way so that the key can spin the lock. The news programs, including ABC news, have been covering this story so that unsuspecting homeowners can take adequate precautions.

THE SOLUTION? LOCKS WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF PROTECTION

The best protection against home break-in is the use of a high-quality lock. Not all security locks can be opened with a bump key, and every homeowner should know the difference between the regular lock and the one that provides a high level of protection.

High-end lock is the only way to provide adequate protection against bumping. These locks are pick-resistant, can not be bumped and offer control over duplication of keys. They use patented floating pin technology and criminals simply can not break-in.

If your door is currently with a deadbolt, it’s wise to consider raising the security by adding a secondary  lock. Chain lock, Door Guardian or Latch lock will provide safety for your family and property. Our perfectly trained locksmiths will offer you wide range of locks to suit your budget and needs.

Although it is an investment, installing a secondary lock is a necessity now. If your current lock does not use floating pins,it will only take 30 seconds  for thieves to break-in your home using the Bump key. Your neighbors that are watching will think that you have given one of your own keys to someone with a specific purpose. This is how fast a thief can break into your home and you, as a home owner, need to take the proper precautions to prevent your home from being an easy target.
