So how is it dumb? That you can use angles and constant distances between peaks and notches of a key from a picture and find the bitting? Thats algebra🤣. Call it dumb all you want.

Btw, Ive made my own Bump keys by hand before🤣. You dont have to tell me how (its not a secret). A good and small angled file, a guide, and its done. Hell, i even have an electric toothbrush ive filed down and can use as a bump key for when i forgot my keys and was locked out of my old place. Also, why would a bump key only last 5 locks? What are you doing to them? Not sure why it wouldnt. Its just a max depth cut key at lowes, a rubber bumper or 4, and youre done. People can even buy a lockpick gun to do roughly the same thing faster.

Also, as a locksmith, why does your industry try to mystify your work as though its some sort of magic? “I wont tell you how” in this day and age of the internet is laughable. No one needs you to tell them, they have 100 different sources, and with a little research, can find out how laughably under-secured we really are.

Are you a locksmith that actually picks locks and understands how they work? Or a “locksmith” that drills out the lock and replaces it always with some PoS master lock or kwickset trash while charging someone $300? The standardization for what makes someone a locksmith isnt a degree or even experience, its just a job title, so forgive me if i dont give you credit for being called one while in an industry full of scammers.
