Say goodbye to keylocks.

 

[Mao Tse Tongue]

What kills me is there's no trace of the break-in, so insurance companies won't even cover you!

Oh god, could you imagine. You come home, all your Boston LP's are gone and there's no trace!

Wow, so what do you do to the key itself exactly????
Make the grooves deeper????

 

[Alexis696969]

oh come on you mean this key can open any door ?
thats fucked

But as far as im concerned key or not if someone wants inside they will break in thats why people need alarms that send the police over and a mean vicious roti waiting to eat the bastard as they break in hehe

Google lockpicking and you'll understand how it works. Picking locks isn't all that difficult. And these bump keys are pretty much how locks get picked.

 

[Eli]

I think they showed how people can order the keys off the internet. Or perhaps all you need is your own key cutter. There are some bump-proof locks out there that don't work on the old saw tooth design.

No wonder Canada has a higher property crime rate then all the UNited States .hard to believe but very true !

Alarm systems will be booming now the more the message gets across

but i still think a a few nasty dogs should take care of any breakins

We should have known it was possible there has always been Master Keys.

This would be funny, if you went away for an extended holiday and the batteries died!!

Maybe I missed something but how do you get a bump key? I mean I know one guy showed 10 keys that would open 90% of home locks, but it is still a matter of getting a set of keys, right????

KWI

Many contractors & subcontractors have 2nd keys to do service new homes. Supposedly, once new home owner use their 'master' key, the pin in lock drops out, disables secondary keys. I know someone with their contractor entered their home, without prior approval.

Alarm is deterrant but too many false alarms, people ignore them.

Best protection, a guard dog.

 

[Malibook]

I'll worry when these keys can disable alarm systems.

You really think that is a good way to keep people out?

Tell me what the response time of your local LE is to an alarm.

There was this movie with John Travolta...He had a doorbell that triggered an audio recording of dogs barking. Anyone know where i can get somethin like that?

that is a novety

You will note that the 20 seconds of barking will not be triggered by a knock.

No scrathing at the door or window. An experienced thief will head on in.

If somebody wants to get in, they will get in regardless of alarm or if they have a Bump key.

I have been lucky so far but a few of my friends have been very happy with the response of the company and LE.

Are you implying that alarm systems are no deterrent and a waste of money?

I am saying that a professional in 4 minutes can be in and out of your house or business. My guess is LE response time is between 7 to 11 minutes in most areas. Also take a look at your second floor windows and the motion dectors in the 2nd floor halls. Guess what, you keep a ton of stuff in your bedrooms on a floor without alarm points.

there is an x10 model.

it can be triggerd by motion detectors, door bell ringing, glass breaking...etc. I use some x10 products and they work pretty well.
