Lock Bumping Prevention
Replace your current locks to high-security locks like Medeco and Schlage Primus for example. Replace your locks to electronic locks, magnetic locks, or locks using rotating disks which are not vulnerable to this attack.. These provide better security and are easy to recode. The customer has to ability to recode these locks himself most of the time.
Install an alarm system. Even though this will not cancel the susceptibility of your locks to key bumping, our experience finds that alarm systems provides a good deterrent to the everyday burglar.
Shallow drilling, in which one or more of the pin stacks is drilled slightly shallower than the others, is another method of prevention. If an attempt were made on a lock that has shallow drilled pin stacks, the bump key will be unable to bump the shallow drilled pins because they are too high for the bump key to engage.
