TrioVing locks

[Joey Bane]

a friend of mine visited a locksmith to buy a bump key. the locksmith told him that TiroVing locks couldn't mbe opened using a bump key. i suspect this is because he didn't want to mak him one and didn't want him to try.

does anyone have any experience on TrioVing locks, nearly all door locks in norwy is TroVing

well I just googled it and it appears that it depends on what model of TrioVing you're speaking of cause some I doubt bumping would work with but I can tell you all of them can be picked so screw bump keys they're for fools anyway and learn to pick

Why would a locksmith make someone a bump key ?

Ignorance... Perhaps they are not aware of what the are doing.

Well... You'd have to approach it in the right way - asking "Can I have a bump key?" will get you turned down I imagine.

i'd be more likely to sell it to somebody who was honest about their intended use than somebody asking for a 9's depth key pretending they had legitimate uses for it.

that aside, the absolute likelihood of me selling somebody a bump key is a hair above nil.

Trioving manufacture alot of reasonable quality mortice vestibule locksets, commonly found in alot of hotels around the world.

Most of their earlier models used standard threaded mortice cylinders that were nothing more than an awkward keyway, which made getting a suitable turning wrench in difficult.

I have serviced a great many TrioVing mortice locks and found them to be fairly good quality, albeit expensive.

The cylinders should not really pose any substantial threat to bumping as they are built in the conventional method. Worth noting though, is the back of the plug is open and usually the cam does not block the back of the plug, so bypassing the cylinder altogether is very likely.

i was defending the use of bump keys after UWSDWF criticised their use..
a perfectly legitimate means of quickly defeating difficult cylinders..

Yes. trioving locks can absolutely be bumped. triovings cylinder range does not differ much from the assa cylinder range. manufacturing quality is quite similar to. They have some cylinders that requires a dimple hole on one side of the key. I dont know if they are bump resistant or not, but the standard 7pin triovings are not. But on the other hand, a vast majority of the trioving locks sold, both in norway and in other countries have a protected keyway that requires you to have keycard if you want to get a new set of keys. So either you get a keycard or you look up your nearest locksmith with a "Easy entry" key copying machine
I estimate that 80% or more of all locks in norway are trioving. Stupid norwegians with too much money is what keeps this company alive.
