What I was trying to say is that although the internal process would be different, if you took a warded key, filed most of it away, cut back the shoulder, whacked it in and turned the lock would open.

In fact, the lock would open by simply filing most of it away and turning, the "bump" part of bumping would be superflous but not harmful to opening the lock.

I would agree that the lock is not vulnerable to bumping, but an attempt at bumping will succeed anyway and someone who doesn't know any better could be convinced the lock was bumped.

You know this got me thinking. Make a key that has a couple of wards. The cuts on this would have to have an angle but when you turn it the lock would be stoped at an area that has pins. This would deffently make the locks bump proff.


I'm not entirely sure what you are getting at here. A picture would help.

Got loads of shitty padlocks n stuff laying around. Most of them u just have to ask em to open and they will do it for u. Easiest lock iv got has got to be a Iseo cylinder.

OK here is what I was talking about. You will have to forgive the fact have no artistic skills.

You would insert your key into the lock which has a face plate that can rotate. You would only be able to insert the key in the up and down position though do to wards. Once a key is inserted that has the right wards you could turn the faceplate and key to the position that has the pins. The stop would not allow the key to turn any farther unless it is the correct key. If it is the correct key then the key would push the stop causing the lock to open.

I have a Master Padlock #3 where the bitting is something like 3433. For fun I can open it using two tension tools and no picks in under 1 second. This is the lock I keep around for confidence whenever I run into trouble with a higher security lock :wink:

For me, it was a $2 brass pad lock.......stuck in my wrench ...applied lite tension and the cylinder turned and opened the lock. No picking required.
