A Question That Should Be Ansewered Fast

hey, so i got my warlock today and i want to put thicker guage strings on it (10-52)
it came with 9-42 i beleive, now what i want to know is if i put on strings this much theese thicker guage strings on it if it will fuck up my bridge????? (im not exactly sure what you call my bridge, it has a thing that the strings go to and then the strings are divided into tiny holes of thier own, i beleive it is the same type of bridge on most of the platnuim guitars) the thing is i did this to my old guitar (changed from 9 to 12) and my bridge popped out and i dont want this happening to my new guitar, or any guitar i ever own, so if someone could please help me out it would i would be thankful

going bigger shouldnt be a problem on the bridge end. but sometimes the bigger set can stick in the nut(mainly the e and a strings). sometimes you have to file out the nut just a little so the string can move freely in there.
