Time to change the locks… Bumpkeys
February 12th, 2007 by Casey
After learning about bumpkeys I think its time to change all the locks. Im not sure yet what type of lock to switch to but will update this post after a little research. In case any of you are interested in seeing what Im talking about check out the video below.
Basically you take a key and file it a bit and you can unlock any traditional lock (you can also buy these keys). Pretty scary stuff.
Engadget talks more about the history of locks and the technical stuff here.

After thinking about this some I may not actually change the locks. All locks really do is slow people down. People can kick in the door, or better yet just go through the windows.
