"The Ultimate Lock"
"You may be under the impression that your house is secure with the front and back doors locked, but think again. Lock bumping can make a mockery of your standard pin and tumbler locks.
Most locks in a residential neighborhood can be quickly and easily bypassed without a noise by using a bump key. And pin and tumbler locks simply have no defense against this type of attack. Our locking system is so old and out-of-date. It was originated during the civil war.
Bump keys were originally discovered during the 1970's by a small circle of locksmiths in Denmark. It was only a matter of time before the practice of lock bumping would reach America and other countries with the introduction of the internet.
There is a resolution to protect yourself and your family against lock bumping. The bump proof locks are now available. All you need to do is replace your old pin tumbler locks with new high security locks. Lock bumping keys pose a real danger to the security of most front door locks. Making a bump key is child's play and they can be manufactured very quickly. In just a few seconds, the lock is turned and the safety and security of your premises has been compromised for thieves and intruders. A bump proof lock does not need to be an expensive purchase since any local locksmith can turn a regular lock into a bump proof lock for a small fee. To stop bump key violations and lock picking tools you should try a new device that is on the market.
There are bump keys that will open all locks. A bump key is like a normal key filed down to the very lowest level in all channels. Such a key will open any pin tumbler lock in a few seconds thus allowing the burglar entrance into your home. Remember than security and cost are not synonymous terms. Indeed, the cheap lock is quite often more secure to a tooled key than its high dollar cousin.
The reason for this is that such devices cost more precisely because they are both sturdier and more finely tooled. If your main concern is bump key prevention, you are better off with the cheap lock.
Particularly if reinforced with preventative measures, a tooled key will probably just break in the lock. This then results in the home becoming completely inaccessible until a visit from a locksmith."
That's one of the worst explanations of a bump key i've ever heard.
That's basically telling people to panic their ass off.

I don't think so.
