Connor01 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 hi, just wondering, are bump keys illegal? I'm not planning on breaking in anywhere, but they're useful just in case you loose your real door key or break it, and need another way in, i know locksmiths can carry one, but are they legal if you're only using them on your own doors?

drummer123 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 There not illegal, there are plenty of hobbyists out there who like to use bump keys and lock picks for fun. I think it is different in some U.S states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgksheff Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Locks with pins either dampened or modified to prevent them being "bumped". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
