J.T. Locksmiths | Security Solutions

We listen and effectively respond to the needs of our clients. We are experts in all fields of locksmithing. We specialize in restricted lock and key management from one property to multi complexes.

Windows

Always make sure your windows are shut and locked correctly before going out. The window you leave open even for some fresh air is the window the criminal will break into.

Doors

When shutting your doors always give the door a shake to make sure the door is locked. If your keys are getting hard to work make sure you lubricate the lock with the correct lubricant. This will make your locks last a lot longer.

Cars

Never leave any money or CD's or any moble device where people can see them from the outside. If your keys are getting hard to work make sure you lubricate the lock with the correct lubricant. If you have a car built after 2000 it is a good chance you will have a transponder key. If you are having problems with the key make sure the battery is not flat.

Lock Bumping

There has been a lot of storys about this subject publicized an intrusion technique known as “Lock Bumping”. This is a very simplistic way of picking a lock. Bumping is a method of opening mechanical locks without leaving any sign that the lock has been forced. Most locks in use throughout Australia are vulnerable to bumping, so it is important to consider the implications of this threat to your business and home security. Lock bumping is a relatively simple technique that involves inserting a modified key part way into a lock and hitting or “bumping” it while applying rotational pressure. The impact on the key causes the pins in the lock to jump momentarily, enabling the lock to be opened. The spring-loaded pins immediately return to their previous position, leaving no evidence of forced entry. Lock bumping and lock picking is not new. However, the technique is easy to learn and the only equipment needed is a key blank that fits a given lock, a file to modify the blank, and something to bump the key with (a small hammer, a screwdriver handle or a rock will do). Key blanks and bumping tutorials are easily available on the internet. It is important not to exaggerate the threat posed by lock bumping. Any security measure is potentially vulnerable to a determined intruder; bumping is just one more technique available to criminals. The main problem with bumping often becomes apparent when victims file an insurance claim: since bumping leaves no sign of forced entry, some insurance companies will refuse to pay a claim on the basis that there is no evidence of unauthorised entry. How can you protect yourself against lock bumping? As with any security threat, multiple security measures working in tandem provide the best protection. Any lock is more secure when combined with appropriate lighting as well as alarm and/or surveillance systems and safes.

You can counter the particular threat of lock bumping and key picking in several ways. EG:

By replacing existing locks with commerical grade restricted locks.

By installing a alarm system, where your mobile phone will be alerted when a alarm occurs.

By installing CCTV where your mobile phone will be alerted with any false entry that may ocour and get imgaes in real time.

By installing solid doors and frames, a good hard kick to most doors will rip the frame and door apart.
