There are videos of this on youtube and elsewhere. They describe this in detail.

Not trying to be vague, but if you look you will find the answer. It may even be on this forum if you use the search function.

Good Luck.

It's easier to buy them. It's not illegal as of yet and they're real cheap. It'll save you from becoming so frustrated and desperate that'll you'll avoid situations where you've used up all your available junk keys to make them out of that you give one last try on your own house key convincing yourself, "This time it'll work, I know I'll get it right this time. If I do, I can just bump my way into my home and I wont need a normal key."
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Sorry. The proper answer to this thread is simple:

The art of making bumpkeys is a closely guarded secret. Nowhere in the world or on the internet will you find any information which discloses the nature or working knowledge of bumpkeys and their creation.

I'm afraid you will have to give up.

I don't get something. First you ask a whole bunch of questions that are easily found if searched

got my first pick set from my dad he had it and never used it so i got it 4 free and it is alittle black leather case and has like 20 tools how much would that cost if u bought it at a store

have this one tool and idk what it is and it is like a half diamond but the tiangle is alot shorter have any info?

how do i get special access to view the advanced lock sections cuz ive been interested in picking locks for about 3 yrs. and ivwe been picking only 2 of them and im pretty good at it but i want to learn more so i need to know how i do it help me if u can please

How do you make a bumping key? I seen a few different ways but there all diufferent. Please help me!



then you proceed to tell anyone you talk to that you can give them tips....



and i have expirience pm me if your interested

but like he said practice practice practice! pm if you need any more tips.

you've got to be kidding theres tons just on this site ! pm me if you want some links



on what exactly....


I am probably sounding like a real [explicative deleted], but I just don't understand why someone would write so much yet not seem like he really knows what they are saying.

Not as far as im concerned. firstly i have all the respect in the world for people that make there own picks, its a gift i don't have. secondly u can make bump keys with a little inside knowledge and simple maths. thirdly lock picking is the art, i would NEVER say some one that picks with picks he brought is less gifted than some one that made there own picks or vice versa.

Making a bump key takes no real skill just patience and using it can be learned easily. i don't class it as an art i class it as a technique.

But thats my rant over. all the best WOT

Calm down hes just a kid thats over enthusiastic. and although giving out advice is a bad idea a PM would probably do instead of public humiliation...

HelloMan
Please refrain from giving out information until you have some more experience. especially as i noticed you were giving out legal information to someone. this is fine if you have spoken to some one that can provide you with legal guidance, but even if everyone on a forum tells you something you should NEVER give out legal advice you are not 100% on. and by 100% i mean speaking in person to a legal advisory like a lawyer, solicitor or some one of the same stature.

All the best to the best of you, and i hope any experiences haven't put you off the forum so far "helloman"

MODS, IF YOU COULD DELETE THE ABOVE POST THAT WOULD BE GREAT
