They aren't coming after your flat screen tv. If a thief is looking at your place and has that knowledge of locks.then you have some fantastic and expensive stuff. Yes, lock bumping has been around for a long time.my suspicion is that locksmiths brought it to light to sell more expensive locks.Ī burglar doesn't have the knowledge to look at locks and say it's not pickable(generally).(they're more worried about it being kickable) (A chain is as strong as it's weakest link.) Most burglars are not picking locks. As a locksmith, I do appreciate selling high priced locks, but always inform my customers that forced entry is primary means of entry. If your windows are made of glass or door frame of wood, then don't bother with extravagant locks.
First look at your key, then your windows and finally your door frame.
