And the countdown to this being used to burglarize somebody's home in 3....2....1. The line for lawsuits forms to the left.

A good set of lockpicks and a little know how can get you in any mechanical lock ever created.

Look, Gordon Freeman, your story is over. There will be no sequels.

Actually wasn't there a leak where some saw Half-Life 3 on the list of Valve projects or something?This makes me sad.

Well there's other ways. In the article you can in theory take you picture to a locksmith and have it made. You could also use your 3d printed version to make a mold and make an epoxy version. Or you can find a machinist with a good eye, buy a blank from the hardware store, and have your machinist buddy cut a match. The latter doesn't need an app but does need some machinist skills.First I think a 3d printer with those kind of edges and depth to the item would be difficult at best considering the medium printed with. But what do I know.
And about bump keys. I bought new locks for my home that are supposed to be bump key safe. Just for that reason.
Yeah most bump key sets sold online which are sadly easy to get don't even need to go though shady channels, wont have special bump keys that take into account things like extra pins or pins in unusual locations, does make coping keys more of a chore though.First I think a 3d printer with those kind of edges and depth to the item would be difficult at best considering the medium printed with.

hell. You can make a bump key that will get you into just about any lock with no real skill involved
screwdriver and paperclip with rake action on many junk locksets
A bum key still needs a simlar cross section, your gonna need multiple.

If it's a junk lockset just shove the screwdriver in the door smack it in there, if the head of the flathead screw driver is big enough just twist as hard as you can and you'll open it. Doesn't even matter if you jammed the lock just keep twisting the cylinder until the deadbolt disengages. As long as you didn't break the cylinder you can disengage a junk lock. Similar you can just take a crow bar to the front of the lock and break it off in half and push out the other side and pull the dead bolt out. There are many ways to break into not securely designed places i just don't worry about it too much and sleep with a bat under my bed.
never heard of bump keys before -- a quick amazon search means I will be buying a set just to have and learn... kind fun the idea of being able to get into a large majority of standard locks without spending months/years training/hacking/tinkering.

I think it depends on the state you live in, i assume they fall into the same category as lock picking set in which depending on state possession is illegal outside of licensed personnel.Be careful. If you get caught with em you can (and likely will) get in some shit for it if you have no real reason to have it (aka, a locksmith/handyman/etc). I think it's considered a burglary tool.
However... you don't need to even buy them. You can make one yourself if you get a blank key (for the type of lock you want to open), and then just file it down. Some youtube videos exist that explain the concept and how to make them.

Actually, it was Left 4 Dead 3...not Half-Life 3.
you must have the foresight to snap a picture of your key and store it in KeyMe's cloud database before you accidentally lock yourself out.
What's silly is that they have one of those at my lowes but they still make keys for you though service people if you want and it's like a full dollar cheaper why bother with the machine.I posted a rant on FB a couple of weeks ago about the electronic key kiosks:
Here's something to think about: Have you seen the computerized key making machines at the stores and malls? They scan your key to duplicate it with a computer controlled cutter. Then you enter your credit card info which gives them your address. What if, by some chance, they keep a database of your key cut and address? They could theoretically print copies of your keys to enter your house whenever they wanted. Or more likely someone will hack it and steal the info and make keys at will.
Now it comes to Iphones. Just wait until someone hacks that cloud database.

Yes, storing data for your keysets in the cloud is called "foresight".
