DO NOT BUY FROM BUMPMYLOCK! About a year after posting this video the company started experiencing problems fulfilling customer orders. Several viewers lost their money or had their orders shortchanged without resolution. Bump key sellers on the Internet seem to come and go pretty regularly, so make SURE you use PayPal so it will be easy to get a refund. Do NOT send them cash, cashiers checks, or personal checks - the risk of loss is too high. Several large companies now sell high quality bump keys (also called slider keys). Look to Sparrows, Multipick and Peterson.
Bosnianbill, you may want to consider updating the video and upload again to include this info incase some folks don't read the comments. I placed an order exactly a week ago for this set(not just because of your review, price comparison and shipping cost made my decision also). They have yet to ship my order and after researching their company online and through the BBB this weekend I realized I made a mistake. I plan to contact them tomorrow and if they don't resolve this issue for me I will inform them about your review and and subsequent disclaimer and leave my own review on the BBB website.
Here are the reviews from the Better Business Bureau: www.bbb.org/central-texas/business-reviews/locksmith-supplies/bump-my-lock-in-waco-tx-90080689/reviews-and-complaints
Bosnianbill, from my recent research(within the last week) "bumpmylock" appeared to be the best deal for a complete set of bump keys(even though they are a sketchy company). Brockhage also offers a similar set of bump keys. They advertise fewer keys but the missing keys are probably not essential.

Jacob, Unfortunately UN-publishing and RE-publishing a modified video is not possible in RUclips. Once the video is published, that's it. From that point I'm limited to updating the description to warn people. I also pinned a warning comment, so viewers have TWO places to see the warning. Now that you've jumped in with links to the BBB, people will have multiple chances to see the warning, thank you.
So, today, after a couple weeks of back and forth emails about my order with Allison Ditto(BumpMyLock owner or customer service rep) got tired of me and canceled my order, without my consent, that was placed May 14th, 23 days ago. She says I should receive my refund in 5-10 business days.
sorry those are garbage bump keys look at that huge tip when you pull that key out one space that big tip will overset the last pin try it bill load up a bare core with the longest pins for that core and pull out one click and watch what happens sparrows sells true bump keys these are just max depth space keys NOT bump keys
Had a customer come into the bookstore where I worked and special-order two books on the history of human castration. Glad I wasn't there for either the ordering or the picking up. *Shudder* Glad to see you're putting those bands to a less painful use. :)
What are the bump hammers supposed to do that any ordinary blunt thing wont? How does their engineering purportedly make them better at their job of bumping bump keys?
In my old shop the guys who used bump keys fell into two camps, "I LOVE MY BUMP HAMMER" and "Eh, whatever..." For ME at least, I've seen they CAN make it a little easier, mostly to have something consistent to work with so you don't have to pay as much attention to the force of your strikes (too hard and you'll damage the lock, or your bump key, too soft won't do the trick) but it also means carrying ANOTHER dedicated tool (for a mobile locksmith, multitaskers, wherever possible, are preferable... for sport lock pickers / openers, or when you KNOW exactly how you'll go about an opening, it may not be a big deal)... For ME, it's honestly just as easy to use the same thing as a bump hammer over and over...In my shop I use a 1 inch wooden dowel about 9 inches long (which for me seems to work better than any bump hammer I've ever tried), in the field I use one of my plastic automotive wedges... The other advantage of using, and becoming familiar with a dedicated "bump hammer" is you don't whack your fingers as much because of the shape. (no seriously... doesn't seem like it should be a concern, but YEAH, it sucks...) Thing is, bump keys are NOT a magic wand, they're another tool for getting an open. Something as simple and stupid as grit or corrosion in the keyway or one bad (or excessively heavy) spring can make a lock REALLY difficult to bump at which point you better have other techniques in your bag o' skills. .
I think he wanted to know why these hammers are even around, or why they are engeneered the way they are. For example, why is the handle flat? Why did someone decide a bumbhammers handle needs to be flat? I think that is what he wants to know.
Hello bosnian bill from hollnd i have a guestion... can u fix a bump key set from the dutch brands like dom/nemef/winkhaus.... i wait voor u response ! Thank u!
Nice entero Bill your wife brushes cost more than the bump hammer you better put them back before she finds out.this set is worth one year wait if i win.thanks for great video. 😎😎😎
I'm still working on my Master 150 just started a month ago. Can someone recommend a good 5 pin (no security) in Aus? Bill recommended the Materlock 911 but I haven't fount it.
tHIS WOULD HAVE HELPED LAST WEEK AS i GOT TO OUR CABIN AND FORGOT THE KEYS. dUMB ,dUMB mE. so I remebered you said before about bumping so i did. I used some other keys and it took a bit but presto it opened. Cheap kwik set lock. Changing them soon . what would your recommendation be?. thought of a digital lock set.
Hope all are Well. Can you explain the high peak at the TIP on SOME? I would think the pin at the tip would be thrown higher than the others? Later, Stratmando
Bet that Russian propaganda is more interesting than the political fliers we've been getting lately. By the way, what were you doing with the castration rings and make-up brushes? Never read that in any of the tech's manuals.
Bumpkeys never worked for me, not even once. I tried many of them on multiple different locks and no luck. But all the simple locks with no security pins I can open very quickly using some kind of raking or rocking method with jag pick or bogota. I guess bumping is not for me.
Those keys are absolutely junk, a properly cut key will open the lock with is little as a Bic lighter and you don't pull out a bump key a notch on a good key, if they are not customly, cut by hand they are like using a dull knife to gut a fish!
The keys I make will pop that lock in one hit that's how bad those keys are , mine don't need no washer or springs or filed shoulder ect, and don't have to pull out a notch like a junk key, it's so sensitive you can bump it with a pen or a Bic lighter!
You didn't gut the lock. how do we know you didn't remove pins? long time subscriber but you yourself said not to trust the videos of those who dont gut the lock. just bustin your chaps but always remember to take the time to gut the looooooock
Bill, I saw on the LPL's channel that you are retiring. Sad to see you go, but very grateful for all the excellent information you have provided the community. I wish you all the best and a long and enjoyable retirement!
Hi Bill, I have noticed whenever I see a video on bumping locks they are always bumped with the pins above the core, yet a lot of Euro locks I see mounted with the pins below the core. Does bumping rely on gravity causing the key pins to drop quicker than the driver pins under the force of gravity or does it make no difference if the pins are above or below the core? Thanks in Advance :)
Someone tried to bump my basement cylinder (mauer), and they only damaged the paint around the door frame. And the cylinder sorta didn't work right for a while, so they probably tried for hours ;D If i kept the cylinder my social housing put on there (corbin el-cheapo), all my worthless garbage would have gotten stolen!
Bill, I cut my bump keys back into the head/bow of the key about 1/4 to 3/8 inches and use a stiff push spring, and my success has increased and cut bumping time to just seconds. All my fellow locksmiths asked me to make them for them since mine work so well.
Nice entero Bill your wife brushes cost more than the bump hammer you better put them back before she finds out.this set is worth one year wait if i win.thanks for great video. 😎😎😎
I came across a set called the Fairbanks Set, cant find a review on them anywhere! They sell on ukbumpkeys, and come in both standard and reverse profiles.
That key looked like a defiant key from home depot not a kwikset. the cuts from a defiant key are 1 size higher than a kwikset key. still was good tho.
I would like to know how to make my lock bump proof can you make a video on that I'm learning on locks how they work and making more security for my house and love every video you put out
does that last peak on most of them, being much teller than the others, cause an issue with the last pin? Should that last peak be filed down to the height of the other, almost like cutting a last pin position?
Bill you’re the shit bro. I’ve learned a lot just watching your channel, and I’ve even put some of it to use this past weekend! This is a new hobby of mine, thanks for introducing picking to me and to the world! Much respect brother!
I just recently came across your channel and was instantly hooked. I have spent the last week or so watching your vids one right after the other. Lock picking has always been something i have been interested in but was hesitant to try to learn. You have changed that and i just wanted to say thank you
Getting a set of bump keys like that would certainly be easier and cheaper than the alternative, i.e. getting lots of various locks, copying the keys, and filing them into bump keys. Question: Do bump keys work on pins that have a very high bitting?
I've not tried bumpkeys ok not purchased bump keys as my own home made ones never realy worked not knowing the height of the cuts until now . And 100s of pounds sounded rather expensive to pay out on a gamble are the heights basically the same for all the different key or lock manufacturers
It's the deepest used cut for each type of key. For instance, a typical Schlage lock as 9 different depths (plus a 0 "cut" for a non-cut), so you would cut each position to the 9 depth. Kwikset typically just has 6 different depths (with the exception of locks pinned for realtors/construction which typically goes to 7), so you would cut each position to the 6th position.
Buttonmstr thank you I now need to get some depth cards don't I that is invaluable advice many thanks is there a cheep place to get depth cards or down load many thanks again . yea yea I'm not a cheapskate I' just love making my own entertainment lol
If you have a machine to cut it to a precise measurement, I could pull up the depth you need to cut it to, but if you're doing it with a file, you can take it down to the bottom of the blade, right before the key way starts. That should be pretty close to what the deepest cut is. Just make sure you keep the teeth between the cuts. That's what makes it work.
Unfortunately, I'm a youtube idiot and I don't know how to pm. I tried clicking on your name, but then it didn't give me any options after that. I'd just say as long as you get your spacing right, you can go pretty deep and it'll still function as a bump key. You can use an existing key of the same type to give your spacing. Sometimes I'll even just take an old key that doesn't work on anything and turn it into a bump key. All of the spacing is already there for me.

Thank you.
do you have an NFA stamp for that machinegun? ;)
What machinegun? 😋 Of COURSE I do, why else would I be confident enough to post pics on a public forum?
should check your local laws on owning them cause some states they are illegal to own
BIG WILLY THE LOCKSMITH C.P.L. not if they are cut at proper depth like they should be!
Had a customer come into the bookstore where I worked and special-order two books on the history of human castration. Glad I wasn't there for either the ordering or the picking up. *Shudder*
Glad to see you're putting those bands to a less painful use. :)
What are the bump hammers supposed to do that any ordinary blunt thing wont? How does their engineering purportedly make them better at their job of bumping bump keys?
Money in someones pocket and maybe making it a little easier to hit such a small area with the correct amount of force is my guess.
In my old shop the guys who used bump keys fell into two camps, "I LOVE MY BUMP HAMMER" and "Eh, whatever..." For ME at least, I've seen they CAN make it a little easier, mostly to have something consistent to work with so you don't have to pay as much attention to the force of your strikes (too hard and you'll damage the lock, or your bump key, too soft won't do the trick) but it also means carrying ANOTHER dedicated tool (for a mobile locksmith, multitaskers, wherever possible, are preferable... for sport lock pickers / openers, or when you KNOW exactly how you'll go about an opening, it may not be a big deal)... For ME, it's honestly just as easy to use the same thing as a bump hammer over and over...In my shop I use a 1 inch wooden dowel about 9 inches long (which for me seems to work better than any bump hammer I've ever tried), in the field I use one of my plastic automotive wedges...

Something as simple and stupid as grit or corrosion in the keyway or one bad (or excessively heavy) spring can make a lock REALLY difficult to bump at which point you better have other techniques in your bag o' skills. .
Uhhh... Did you actually WATCH the video? Try that. If you still have a question, let me know.
I think he wanted to know why these hammers are even around, or why they are engeneered the way they are. For example, why is the handle flat? Why did someone decide a bumbhammers handle needs to be flat? I think that is what he wants to know.
Jonney J I just want to bump it, not smash it. ;)
Bump an Everest for us Bill!!!
great video i wonder if a O ring would work for the rubber bumper
if it costs $96 for a large set of bump keys and a lock pick gun costs $30, whats the benefit or bump keys?
"...........makeup brushes I stole from my wife's vanity."
Bill that is neither legal or safe.....especially if she finds out.
lol :)
Hello bosnian bill from hollnd i have a guestion... can u fix a bump key set from the dutch brands like dom/nemef/winkhaus.... i wait voor u response ! Thank u!
Nice entero Bill your wife brushes cost more than the bump hammer you better put them back before she finds out.this set is worth one year wait if i win.thanks for great video. 😎😎😎
I'm still working on my Master 150 just started a month ago. Can someone recommend a good 5 pin (no security) in Aus? Bill recommended the Materlock 911 but I haven't fount it.
But what if i like to get russian propaganda? In case i am to shy to admit that. So it would then be perfect if you get your server hacked...
I want to buy a bump key set for European locks, do you have any suggestions??
I was under the impression that we society was already getting Russian propaganda..... Or was that Chinese propaganda?
tHIS WOULD HAVE HELPED LAST WEEK AS i GOT TO OUR CABIN AND FORGOT THE KEYS. dUMB ,dUMB mE. so I remebered you said before about bumping so i did. I used some other keys and it took a bit but presto it opened. Cheap kwik set lock. Changing them soon . what would your recommendation be?. thought of a digital lock set.
Abloy, Medeco or Mul-t-lock.
Bill what would someone have to do to get a challenge lock from u?
I cant bump for shit I bought a kit off sparrows an cant seem to get it to work
Thanks bill good luck in retirement:)
What about European locks???
Cuántos dientes tiene la llave le llaman dientes de pescado
question if you have bump Keys then why do you need to pick the lock other than having to carry all those keys with you
Vreau și io o cheie bomp profisonala de mai multe feluri
Add a castration ring to set :V
Nice - I've made a handful of bumpkeys with my code machine and had great luck with the castration bands.
Wasted time talking, not impressed
Hope all are Well. Can you explain the high peak at the TIP on SOME?
I would think the pin at the tip would be thrown higher than the others?

Does bumping rely on gravity causing the key pins to drop quicker than the driver pins under the force of gravity or does it make no difference if the pins are above or below the core? Thanks in Advance :)
do you really need this much bump keys? It seems to me that a 4pin, 5pin and 6pin bumpkey would be enough.. and are these all american keys?
Useless in europe tho, where we have mostly abloys
Someone tried to bump my basement cylinder (mauer), and they only damaged the paint around the door frame.

I came across a set called the Fairbanks Set, cant find a review on them anywhere! They sell on ukbumpkeys, and come in both standard and reverse profiles.
This is a great video thxs Bill
What if I want to receive Russian propaganda instead of US propaganda? Lol jk
That key looked like a defiant key from home depot not a kwikset. the cuts from a defiant key are 1 size higher than a kwikset key. still was good tho.

does that last peak on most of them, being much teller than the others, cause an issue with the last pin? Should that last peak be filed down to the height of the other, almost like cutting a last pin position?
Another thing you can use instead of a castration ring is the removable rubber peice on ear buds. Most ear buds come with a few extra ones
2:28..........this is a 5 pin lock but I had to take out the back pin, so its really only a 5 pin lock.......?
nice video
You paid 94$. To funny
Does that also work with dimple locks if you drill the dimples down to the lowest setting? It should, right?
Not really a machine gun, more of a semi auto since you have to hit with the hammer each try. Minor quibble.
Bill you’re the shit bro. I’ve learned a lot just watching your channel, and I’ve even put some of it to use this past weekend! This is a new hobby of mine, thanks for introducing picking to me and to the world!
Much respect brother!
yea they have kits from 5.99 on up I have been one of their customers for years check local laws nice video bill
Awesome looking set, still haven't mastered the bump yet just started on raking and worm picking,
Ebay
Lot 500 farm animal castration rings (gently used)
buy it now - 5 cents
I just recently came across your channel and was instantly hooked. I have spent the last week or so watching your vids one right after the other. Lock picking has always been something i have been interested in but was hesitant to try to learn. You have changed that and i just wanted to say thank you
list the different key numbers included ? sc1, 4 for example
One of the best and most professional on youtube. My only problem, as always, is I hate long introductions.
Birdi milling machine
my house key looks like a bump key cause 4 of the 5 pins are at the same height. #secure
nice set, but they really should be modified the same way you did yours..
your difference ki
Como puedo comprarlas desde España. .How many much .sold spain thank you
No Assa keys? can you make one and make a video about it? Does it work or not?
i wish i could get that bump key set i've always wanted to be able to try them out
Id love this set! your videos are awesom bill. cant help watching
of all the contests so far this is THE one id love to hit on. i have a small collection of bumps but this set is just amazing ;) great review
I really need to finish making my electric lock pick.
very nice video
Subscribed
Them bump hammers look like they would be easy to make.
Very instructive, really enjoying your videos
Just about enough for every Bump in the road
Not work
I'll definitely have to try using an o-ring / grommet on a bump key! Thanks for the tip!
Getting a set of bump keys like that would certainly be easier and cheaper than the alternative, i.e. getting lots of various locks, copying the keys, and filing them into bump keys. Question: Do bump keys work on pins that have a very high bitting?
Benjamin Hackett as long as you don't use that junk they are selling!
Cool jewel
Save your money and buy from Sparrows . Bump My Lock is the worst place I almost did business with .
Jon Beard they are all absolute junk, you haven't seen what a shear point key can do!
h
Thx for the video! Sweet bump keys!
Great idea. Maybe I'll try this out.
@1:39 how to find out which schlage to use?
Are bump keys now Mostly useless?
Not in the least. Many locks can be easily bumped open. As long as there are pin tumbler locks, bump keys will be effective against them.
Wow would love them. Thanks bill
Does this set include EU keys too??
Bill a lot of key s go under the line ?
does it include Corbin keys?
a baker's dozen of bump keys
Appreciate your generosity.
: O a bump key is very fast with the opening of locks, how can I any longer feel safe in my house
Rubenis denaam Kicking the door in or breaking a window is even faster.
Great video...Thanks
nice video like all of ur vids
Do we need to leave a comment to
I've not tried bumpkeys ok not purchased bump keys as my own home made ones never realy worked not knowing the height of the cuts until now . And 100s of pounds sounded rather expensive to pay out on a gamble are the heights basically the same for all the different key or lock manufacturers

Buttonmstr thank you I now need to get some depth cards don't I that is invaluable advice many thanks is there a cheep place to get depth cards or down load many thanks again . yea yea I'm not a cheapskate I' just love making my own entertainment lol
If you have a machine to cut it to a precise measurement, I could pull up the depth you need to cut it to, but if you're doing it with a file, you can take it down to the bottom of the blade, right before the key way starts. That should be pretty close to what the deepest cut is. Just make sure you keep the teeth between the cuts. That's what makes it work.
Buttonmstr that's great thanks I do have a key cutter like me it's old but still works can you pm me as I can't find you on here
Unfortunately, I'm a youtube idiot and I don't know how to pm. I tried clicking on your name, but then it didn't give me any options after that. I'd just say as long as you get your spacing right, you can go pretty deep and it'll still function as a bump key. You can use an existing key of the same type to give your spacing. Sometimes I'll even just take an old key that doesn't work on anything and turn it into a bump key. All of the spacing is already there for me.
Now that's a kit and a half
them are nice I want them
Wonderful Knowledge
