Well i got $20.00 from my dad because i passed summer school,and i decided to buy a few bump keys from bump-j.com.I bought the master M1,Kwikset KW1,and the Schlage SC20.I was wondering how reliable is this site?

I try searching for reveiws on this site but could not find any.

bump keys are bump keys, as long as they are cut by code they will essentially be the same anywhere you get them. As for the sites reputability, I don't know, looks kinda seedy and I haven't been able to find much information about them considering their whois information for the domain is fake, and email is rerouted through a privacy service probably to a free email account.

Bump keys are worth around a quarter of what they charge and that still includes profit so they are certainly making money although they are no-where near the extortionate pices some off them for in the uk,

Would you belive one firm charges the equivalent of over $400 for a set the same sort of size as sold on there?

Ludricous,

Before buying always check up and as said this site has been set up based on lies and seems dodgy or maybe its simply someone wanting to remain out of the public eye for doing it, my guess is a kid wanting to make pocket money or by reading the text and looking at the video its possably a lockie,

Eitherway a code cut key should only be $1-2 so times that by the number of keys you get in your set t see if they are worth it,

Theres no reviews because we dont like bump keys, this is a hobby picking site and bump keys have no place in hobby picking or sprot picking, it also has no place in the public when the forums main rule is no bypassing but most of us are still trying to figure that decision out,

I suggest that you buy with care, its an unknown and unheard of site, proceed with care,

Do a search on google and you'll quickly find that one of the main bump key stores also runs a bump key forum that can probably help you out better. Like Shrub said, most of us don't really care for bump keys or can make our own somehow so we don't really know what online bump key stores are reliable or not.

well its a bit late now if uve already handed the cash over. best you can do is get back to us with an answer on here so the next person can read up on it.

chances are you will get bored of bumping very quickly. I think most of us have tried it but once you have proved to your self that it works they will probably just gather dust. its not like you can have a relaxing evening smacking a key with a screwdriver.

They messed up your order and you still think it's a good place to buy from???

by **tmaxx258** » 7 Aug 2007 13:34

If McDonadls messes up your order once are you going to eat there again?

I could see if i bought multiple items on differnt days and they messed it up,but i only bought from them once so i cant really say to much good/bad about them.

by **JackNco** » 7 Aug 2007 13:40

ok but would u class mcdonalds as some where you would recommend to some one looking for a quality product?

If a company messes up an order for me they either send me what i was missing free of charge that day and don't ask for the original item back or there not a good company.

I don't eat at McDonalds at all. :wink:

I would at least expect the company to fix their mistake at no additional shipping cost.

Perhaps there was a miscommunication within your order, or they may have not had the SC20 and opted to send you the SC4 instead, not thinking you would notice.

I am not going to make excuses for them beacause I don't know of the site and it's reputation very well but it's well worth asking them to correct the mistake made on there part at no extra charge to you.

What are the keys made of?

by **tmaxx258** » 7 Aug 2007 14:46

Uh,It says on the site its made of an brass alloy or something,if they dont have that in stock they just make it out off brass,I will have to check,

Found them

http://www.bump-j.com/Detail/MasterM1.html(i think it is made out of brass)

http://www.bump-j.com/Detail/SchlageSC4.html(i pretty sure i have the brass one)

http://www.bump-j.com/Detail/KwiksetKW1.html(I think i have the nickle one)

by **JackNco** » 7 Aug 2007 14:52

hmmmmm, I ALWAYS use the brass ones with HD stamped on the key (any of the UK lockies will be able to back me up or correct me on this) because they are brass and bend before they break.

The nickel ones ive tried shear the shoulders off in my experience. although its not that vast. bumping got boring pretty fast to me.

Steel keys damage the locks very quickly where brass gives a bit and wears the key rather than the lock,

Also an order that is 30% wrong is extreemly high,
