Hi there, i finaly got a machine made bumpkey, but i have ran into a litle problem that i did not find an good straight out answer for via google.
I live in a country where our locks/cylinders are installed "upside down", like this:
Now all the movies iv seen on youtube, show the locks beeing the other way. Also, when insterting the key, the "teeth" are upwards.
After googling for a while, i came over loads of sites but rather few straightup answers to my question. The last page i found was this one, and also here there was a tread, but i think it was more about picking, and not that much the use of a bumpkey.
But then again, im sorry if this have been discussed before, but the question is: is it possible to bump a lock like this with a bumpkey?
One of the other sites i found, said that one should turn the locks upside down (like mine), to prevent people from bumping it, but there where no users who commented to that proposal, so im still unsure.
