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.



Search alt.locksmithing for bumping. There have been some threads on
brands and things you can try for a conventional lock. Some "high
security" locks are not bump proof.

I agree with whoever said 'hardening' the door and strike are more
important.
