Holy crap! 90% of locks can be opened by a child with no skill...

Yeah, I definitely need to get my hands on one of these. Not that I plan on breaking into someones house or anything, I just like little things like this.

sorry guys

That's because everyone else uses thread titles like yours. Note that none of those searches will find this thread, either.

Get an alarm.

Not going to help. Unless you're lucky enough to have the cops on your doorstep in 4-5 minutes minimum, you're house will be empty and theives gone by then. If you want to seriously protect your house, you'll need much more than alarm.

I actually found it in a search for "bump" and, subsequently, "bump keys".

The video is in europe, guessing the key styles in the U.S. are different?

It seems it's a failure in the general way keys work so I would think it applies to US locks too.

Yeah I did some reading up on locksmithing, picking locks, and the standard pin tumbler locks. You can bump them.

I'd like to learn how to pick locks old-school, though. It looks awesome.
