KABA experT Cylinders Bump Proof Locks

Another interesting entry in the category of Bump proof locks comes from the Australian company KABA. Their addition is the KABA eperT lock series. This series of locks really goes all out. This lock comes with 22-pins that are divided into four rows. So imagine trying to pick that many pins. The pins in the lock are not held by springs, but are magnetized to the key. The key is specially designed with four rows of teeth to access the 22-pin lock. The keys are not common, so they cannot be copied at any key shop. You will have to get extra keys from the company itself, or one of its sponsored lock dealers. Each key is unique and identified, so the company knows exactly what keys are out on the market. And for your convenience the keys are each color coated.

The cylinder unit is modular and can be installed in many types of locks. Such as Mortice Cylinders, Bible Cylinders, Euro Cylinders, Switch Cylinders, Rim Cylinders, Furniture locks, Padlocks, and Cam Locks.

Due to the innovations in this lock series, the locks are more resistant to bumping, picking, raking, and other forms of manipulation.

Auto Jigglers are lock picks designed for car doors. They come in the form of metal cut outs in the shapes of familiar styles of car keys. Ideally you take the jiggler that is the shape of the original car key, insert it into the lock and wiggle it around until you hit the right spot and the door unlocks. When you see videos of this being done, you just think "Why is it that easy?"

As with some of the other locksmithing tools, bump keys are another form of opening locks that requires little skill on the users part. And along with items like auto jigglers,the thought of unlawful entry becomes even scarier for people to think about. There are many videos floating around on the topic and many how to guides on the internet. But seeing it in action gives you best sense of the lock bumping phenomena.
