Default Secure locksets

Awhile back there was an internet tutorial going around that was a
lesson on "lock bumping", basically a method by which a burglar could
fairly easily defeat most household entry locksets.Someone,perhaps on
another newsgroup posted info on one or more brands that were bump-
proof.Does anybody have info on more secure locksets for household
use? Thanks in advance.

as long as I gotta buy some,might as well get the right ones.


Buy your locksets from a real locksmith. You'll pay about the same
price you would at the big box store, and you'll develop a relationship
with a guy who can come rescue you.

The locksmith will be happy to explain to you that the bumping thing
has been known for years, and that its danger was exaggerated on the
Internet.

Imagine that--something was exaggerated on the Internet. ;-)
