Is this lock bump proof?
222403
YES, I disagree with the other answers. I own this lock and I am a "noncriminal" bump key user. I have tried my bump key on this lock. Because the outside cylinder turns free until you push the CORRECT key in to turn just the internal part this lock is either impossible or very difficult to bump. To use a bump key you place the bump key one click from completely in the lock and hold tension against the key in the direction it turns. Then you use another tool to BUMP the key in and when done correctly it turns the lock. With this lock the cylinder spins free with a bump key, or any wrong key, inserted. It isn't possible with only two hands to hold side tension on the key. I am not sure but it MAY be possible using a third hand to hold the outside spinner static to get a bump. Another difficulty with this would be not being clear which direction the key needs to turn. Most deadbolts the key turns away from the door, which does not appear to be a constant truth with this lock. So even if you had three hands and could bump it you aren't going to be certain which way to apply the side pressure. That does not mean this lock could never be defeated and maybe even be bumped but I would consider this lock bump proof.

I seems that any lick with a standard cut key is susceptible to bumping. However, Schlage locks are more bump resistant than other "kwik" brands. I replaced a kwik digital lock with this for sheer quality & durability.

Out of the box, no. But you can bring it to a locksmith to have it bump proofed. However this disables the use of your key and if the battery dies, you won't be able to get into your house if this is the only entry. It also may void the warranty if it's done.

Hi Ken, On the back it is a turn lever. But don't use it as a front door lock. It is very easy to "bumping key" and the inside isn't that strong either.

Given that its metallic finish on the plastic I would guess yes, I have not noticed any difference in my application. The other odd thing about the locks with the built-in module is the cases are taller for some reason.

I have had mine on for about a year, and have not had any problem with the latch. I don't feel as though the latch has a security problem.

Yes FYI Its not a high security lock. More of a convenience of not needing a key or remembering a combination.

I don't have answer your question.However this lock is simply junk. It is so flimpsey,I probably used for 2 months and had to remove and trash it out. Such a waste.

No, it has no lock, and is inherently insecure. Keeps the rain, snow, dirt and junk out, but doesn't provide any real security.

No - it is amazingly secure with no movement once tightened. I use it everyday with no issues.

Yes. This is a very good lock, and when connected to an alarm service, entry is very easy. I love having this on my door.

No. I would just consider it tamper resistant and a hindrance to a quick smash and grab.

Because it is a security system, the lock is intended to resist tampering. That includes trying it out, just to see. No substitute for having the parts in your hands.

It's a solid u lock. Haven't had any issues with mine. It's pretty heavy and the straight bar is a little big, but overall it's a good lock.

It does have a built in lock in the center but I never use it, I put to pad locks on the two latches for more protection

Honestly, any lock can be broken. I feel that different locks just have different levels of deterring thieves. I've had it for a month so far, it feels really sturdy and I feel safe using it but its something I have to lug around because the weight is very noticeable (around 9 pounds). If you don't think you will mind carrying that extra weight then by all means pick this one up

No; The lock only keeps the center latch from being opened without the key. There is an aftermarket set of hood side latches that many say cures flutter.

In my opinion YES, it will prevent that. It is double bolted and secured to the side framing of the door. With a past in public safety, I researched this quite a bit because in our new home we can not use a simple pin to secure the door over and above the cheap latches that come on sliding doors. When I researched this type of lock and passed it around a few police friends we were all in agreement that this would ultimately keep the door attached and unable to be removed from the tracks as normal access with a crow bar or heavy screw driver would allow. I highly recommend it.

No! This lock has worked wonderfully at our house! We haven't had any break ins since we installed it, while prior to this lock we had 4. We actually did have an issue with our landlord (I live in a college town and leases are yearly) about changing the doorknob to a locked code. He was worried that in an emergency he would not have access to our house. (Trust me, I lol'd at what kind of emergency would require him to get into our home..) But to appease him we set a "User Code" for him and his maintenance crew to use. Installation was easy & this product works great. All of our neighbors have installed it as well.
