Re: Do you secure your front door in a special way?

Any of y'all heard of "key bumping"?

I was at Home Depot today to pick up some new door hardware for my aging doors and got an earful from a locksmith.
Evidently the technique has been around for a few years but with the advent of the internet, its becoming a common practice for thieves.

I don't know all of the details, but evidently there is an easy way to make special key (or buy one online) and simply insert it in any lock, give it a good bump while turning and the cylinder unlocks.

Google the term and then think about getting your locks changed.
