Lockpicking just became a whole lot easier. Engineers Jos Weyers and Christian Holler can use 3D printing technology to produce ‘bump’ keys capable of opening millions of locks, without ever having seen the original keys.

Their DIY software Photobump requires only a picture of the lock in question, and couple of pieces of readily available information such as lock’s depth, to design a ‘bump’ key that can pick even the most sophisticated of security locks.

Ikon maker Assa Abloy told Wired that 3-D printing bump keys is an expensive, unreliable trick that doesn’t work on some locks whose keys have hidden or moving parts: “We view this as an interesting exercise, but not particularly representative of the real world of covert entry by criminals and burglars.”
