This is one of my puzzle locks and it is fun to open. The solid brass puzzle padlock is made of solid brass and weighs 1 kilogram.

To open it is more complex than it appears; it requires a more careful inspection to unlock it. Find the right combination of moves and keys to open it. The lock is handmade and from India.

The puzzle locks were originally made if you were an apprentice locksmith, to prove your skills, you had to make a lock, a chest or a lock or padlock, and three master locksmiths would evaluate your lock. One of the main points was how quickly they could open your lock.

Castration Rings for Locksmiths! Bump Keys! Mr. Locksmith Video

Castration Rings for Locksmiths! Bump Keys! Mr. Locksmith Video

For further info and to purchase Bump Keys go to Mr. Locksmith White Rock

Bump Keys: My Grandfather was a locksmith and he called it “Rapping a Cylinder” today we call it “Bumping a Lock” with “Bump Keys.”

When bumping a lock, the key is initially inserted into the keyway the “Castration Rings” helps to keep the Bump Key one notch (pin) short of full insertion.

Bump Keys Castration Rings

Bumping the key inward forces it deeper into the keyway. The bump key transmits a slight impact force to all of the key pins in the lock. The key pins transmit this force to the driver pins; the key pins stay in place.

The pin movements are highly elastic, the driver pins “jump” from the key pins for a nanosecond, moving higher than the cylinder (shear line of the tumbler), then are pushed normally back by the spring to sit against the key pins once again. Even though this separation only lasts only a nanosecond with a light rotational force or tension is continuously applied to the key during the slight impact, the cylinder will turn during the short separation time at the shear of the pins, and the lock can be opened while the driver pins are elevated above the shear line.

Lock bumping takes only an instant to open the lock. The lock is not visibly damaged, although the force of the bump can leave an indentation on the front of the cylinder.

Sentry Safe the leading and most respected fire safe manufacturer in North America has designed one of its most popular containers with a fatal security flaw that can allow many different versions to be opened in one second.

In Vancouver, Canada Marc Weber Tobias met with Terry Whin-Yates, one of Western Canada’s most famous and experienced locksmiths. He is known as Mr. Locksmith through his multiple locations in . He is flamboyant, clever, and comes from a long line of locksmiths in his family. The day before we arrived, he had gone to Costco and purchased a new fire safe (Model # SFW123FTC ) produced by SentrySafe. These safes are manufactured in Rochester, N.Y. SentrySafe is one the most recognized brands for protecting contents from fire and are sold at major office supply and hardware stores. Terry opened the safe in less than a minute.
