I Want To Make a Bump Key...(If There's Nothing on TV Later)
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 3:54 pm
Hey Guys!
I have this lock that's totally pissed me off for the last couple of days, a Yale Y300C/63. Tomorrow is my last chance to try to pick it and I want to have a little something extra in my arsenal for my final attemt. I have a Yale euro that has a key that fits the padlock, so I was thinking i might give a bump key a go.
I've only tried making a bump key once before, to try on a few union rim cylinders i had, it was shit and didn't work at all. Also I've never actually bumped a lock successfully, so any help or advice is very much appreciated.
Fistly if someone's feeling particularly bored it would be helpful if u could edit this scan of the key i'm going to use to indicate what dept i should be going for with the cuts, with a red line or something. Or if anyone's in a really giving mood maybe draw an outline of what i sould be aming for with the overall shape..... I think with my previous attemt I left the sides too steep but I was worried about the peaks being too low.
Obviously if you've ever bumped a Yale Y300C/63 please share your experiance.
