How a bump key works (part 2)

Bump key and kinetic energy tool

In part 2 of Engadget’s “The Lockdown” column, Marc Weber Tobias discusses the security of various types of locks, which ones can be defeated by bump keys, which one cannot, and why. The article is a very good read if you’re considering buying a new lock, as it discusses which locks can be bumped (or defeated by other vectors of attack).
