Lock bumping is a lock picking technique using a specially made “bump” key. Pin tumbler locks are often susceptible to this technique. You can protect your home or business by upgrading your lock cylinders. For a free no-obligation estimate, call (617) 206-4783.
As locks age over time, the pins in a lock cylinder tend to wear down causing your keys to stick and forcing you to jiggle or wiggle the key in the lock to make it work. Most likely the keys you were given have probably been copied several times or the key has been worn down which can cause your lock to act like it is breaking. The solution is to have a professional locksmith make a new copy of the key or re-pin the lock.
