bumping locks

RV cam locks are so easy to pick why bother bumping it?

Owning pick sets is legal in most states but using them in a crime turns possession into a felony; look it up.

I carry a pick set with me almost always and if you give me permission, I can legally pick your locks.

California and I think Louisiana are two states where locksmiths must be licensed.

It maybe a stupid law but in many jurisdictions it is unlawful.

It's funny because it was the USN that taught me how to do that over fifty years ago.

Dent puller will get you 'closely looked at' also

For storage locks you can indeed borrow a key from anybody on the camp, they often fit. Know this from experience.

Door locks are better made.

I was a pretty good lock picker in my day, but never heard of bumping.

Done the entrance door twice, basement locks several times. When it happens usually it is because the blasted el-cheapo tri-mark snap bolt has broken and will not retract.. I replace the pice of )__)) bolt with one carved out of steel, works much better.
