TO: My Valued Customers

FOR: What you need to know about Lock Bumping

Last March, a friend emailed me the video YouTube - Lock Bumping and Bump Keys. It got my attention, I went to eBay and found the Bump Keys available there. Three days later I replaced the lock cylinders at my shop!  I have spent the last year reviewing the available options. The issue is serious and ethics demand that I bring this to the attention of my clients.

This information is rampant through the internet, so we must proceed with the knowledge that employees are aware of your
lock's weaknesses. That raises the bar on Corporate Security. If someone bumps into a sensitive area, it would be hard to detect, and when you find out the damage is done. When a Corporate Officer brings the Bump Key issue up, I want you to have the right answer.

The following are relevant videos, notice they show Schlage being bumped.

Again this issue is serious and I look forward to discussing this more in depth with you
