    A way to prevent home break-ins?

    Consumer Reports News: February 13, 2007 12:24 PM

    It turns out that the urban legends you might have read about "lock bumping" and "bump keys" are not myths at all. Just check out this primer on bump keys at Google Video.

    One product we covered at the International Builders' Show last week, Kwikset's Smartscan dead-bolt door lock, might hold some promise as a way to prevent would-be burglars from getting access to your home. Also check out our video, shot on location at the IBS, of this innovative home product.—Steven H. Saltzman
