If i wanted a bump key what would i need to tell a locksmith

[crazyguy_07]

Where i live there are a few dodgy guys at the markets that cut keys for $2 Australian.
If i wanted to get a bumpkey cut what would i need to tell him wat i wanted.
The locks i want to open are branded 'Lockwood'. Do yous know how many pins most lockwood locks contain. if not, would i need to get a bumpkey for 5 pin, 6 pin and a 7 pin?

why is a bumpkey referd as a 999 key. the depth is 9 isnt it. and i havnt came accros any 3 pin locks. why is this also?

Probably those guys cutting the keys for 2usd have only copy machines, so they won't be able to cut any 999 keys.

Go to an actual locksmith and ask for a key cut to code, give him a piece of paper saying "Front door lock - 99789".

They will have no problems in cutting it for you. Then file down cuts 3 and 4 to the same depth as the rest.

BTW, where in Australia are you?

Because nobody wants to say "999999."
