ok. is there anywhere like on the internet that tells you or shows you where to cut for the lowest cut on a key? I am trying to make a IN33 bump key but the only picture is one on bump-j.com and it is a crap pic. This is my house lock, so I have my key to reference, but I don't think any of the pins on my key or w/e is a 9 or a 7

Don't play with any live locks. If it's attached to anything and has a function of ANYTHING other than being just a toy lock, leave it alone! This means if the lock is attached to a door, cabinet, vehicle, chastity belt, _ cage, casket, whatever... unless it is there for the SOLE PURPOSE of being picked, DO NOT PRACTICE WITH THAT LOCK. You CAN and WILL break it... and then your in trouble, especially if it wasn't your lock, or you didn't have permission to be playing with it.

You all know me, had i not been on holiday antoher bum key thread wouldnt have got this far but as it has i cant justify locking it now unless things turn nasty,

I hate bump keys they are the scourge of the earth and do not belong on this site, this is a lockpicking site not a bumming site,

You are quite right there mate :) As a sidenote, reading that text with only minor changes I could be aswell reading a warning about land mines :D "Live locks", "If it's attached to anything", "leave it alone", you get the picture :)

Picking with a lock in use is like playing russian roulette: At some point you will f*ck up and others get to clean up after you.

I feel bad, as I'm so new

Postby demitri241 » 15 May 2007 12:06

Here's the answer to your question, and the cypher to the responses...

...if you want to bump, you need bump keys for each lock you want to bump. It's that simple, and horrifying.

However; this is about lockpicking, any monkey can bump. There is no skill, and asking that question puts you under suspicion.

A walking/running forum won't cover skipping, because you would know how to skip if you were really a walker/runner, and if someone asks them how to skip, first instinct would be to call a skip tracer.

Does that clear anything up?

Looks like the answer was here...

Now that I've learned how to navigate the site...

It's always when you commit that you discover you're missing some info.

All answers are here if only people would look for them instead of posting a new thread,

That said if you hadnt have posted we wouldnt have had this little snippet would we,
