I believe this story ran back in February of 2007. It shows a brief description of lock bumping. It also shows one of the most affordable solutions to lock bumping, the Lock Jaw.

In the coming weeks, we will be adding many bump proof locks to our product line up. As of May 2007, a standard has not yet been established for “bump proof” door locks in the U.S. We have seen amateur lock-pickers open more than a few “high security” locks with bump keys. So, until a standard has been established for bump proof locks, we are only offering locks that do not have keys as “bump proof”. The first product in this area is a really cool idea. It’s called the Lock Jaw. It’s actually a lock for a lock. You put it on the inside of your door and two prongs restrict the thumbturn of your deadbolt lock. It works so well, not only can the lock not be bumped, it can not be picked, or even opened with a key.
