Yale 6b Lishi style pick - The best choice?

[@roysammons2445]

That was great to watch. I recently picked one of these up from UKLP and its a fantastic tool. Great look at this with some good tips. I was thinking that in the 5 on locks you could write the numbers on three top of the chart. 🙂👍

[@Dmaclocksport]

Sure, that'd work Roy

[@penfold7800]

Good video. Great demo and explanation.

[@Dmaclocksport]

😀👍🏻

[@gkeyman565]

If the pick goes into that 5 pin euro all the way then it should still line up with the markings since it starts counting 1 to 6 from the front to the back. the only reason to adjust would be if the pick stopped short due to blockage. you could also just rotate the mortice or rim cylinder to make the pick readable instead of reading upside down and left. anyways , have a great day

[@Dmaclocksport]

The 6b doesnt go all the way in to many 5 pin cylinders all the way hence the need to offset the markings on the lishi. This is due to body length and cam springs for thumbturns. While you can of course rotate pins up rim cylinders in a vice, this is not possible in the field hence the demonstration 😎👍🏻

Great video mate, thanks for making this and for confirming Alan’s passing in the description; I saw one post on Reddit but was hoping someone would confirm it. Sad 😔

[@Dmaclocksport]

Thanks. Alan will be sorely missed by many 🫤👍🏻

[@johndow3490]

Nice and entertaining show, many thanks for it my friend 👍

[@Dmaclocksport]

Thanks H 🍺😎

[@robsonmarcio7917]

In this model it is not possible to reverse the position of the tensioning arm, which the original lishi thought very well as it is very useful to be able to reverse it for doors whose locks are on the left or right side, having this possibility is efficient.

[@Dmaclocksport]

Very true 😎👍🏻

[@BeercanBushcraft]

Very interesting indeed 👍 Great demo - all we need now is for LockChuck to 3D print a spacer ,as used in DD locks 😃👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@Dmaclocksport]

Yeah, that'd be good.I guess you'd need a few different thicknesses though 👍🏻

[@1621billw]

When you use the Lishi upside down how does it affect the decoding for key cutting purposes?

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@1621billw I've never had need to decode or cut keys using this lishi so can't say for certain. I can't imagine the orientation of the lock would matter though. The pin heights would always read the same 👍🏻

[@Johnjgjohn-fy7gr]

Nice demo D they take a bit of getting used to 👍

[@Dmaclocksport]

They do, but work great once you get the hang on them 😎👍🏻

[@tonykidd13]

Hiya love your video's, is there a left and right version? Ie. Being able to pick a lock located on the left side of a door due to the side the tensioner is needed on? Best wishes 😊

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@tonykidd13 thanks. Not for tensioning no. Although there is the Yale 6 version which is meant for pins up as opposed to pins down. That could be used but it would be upside down

[@Nicks-Picks]

Excellent video and demo mate. Luckily I'd heard that the 6b was "the one" a while ago so I've been lucky enough to get one for Christmas just gone. Just need to practice as it's a totally different skill set😊. If you don't mind me mentioning for other readers, James from Dark arts released a grommit which fits on the end of the 6 to make it a five, quite a clever idea I thought to help the less confident. Have a great weekend buddy and all the best to you and yours 🫶🤜🤛🍻

[@Dmaclocksport]

Ah nice. Cheers Nick 😎👍🏻

[@BrutalExcision]

What are your recommendations for best lishis for locks you'll find in the UK? I've been practicing using normal pics but my shaky hand makes it hard to do, tried a lishi a friend had and way better for me. Thanks in advance.

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@BrutalExcision it would be this one. It's sold by uk bump keys I believe

[@BrutalExcision]

@Dmaclocksport this one would do most UK locks or do you recommend any others to pair up?

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@BrutalExcision it'll fit the most common euro keyways. The other lishis are aimed at the US, automotive or specific padlocks.

[@jeanpaulworrall8521]

great video has always

[@januslabreviews2921]

Can you use Lishi SC4 or KW5 for Yale locks? or each one is for different locks?

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@januslabreviews2921 all lishi are keyway specific. Sc4 and kw5 are for shlage and kwikset respectively. There is a yale lishi style tool though

[@SarasCollection]

Hi for most of yale lock which lishi tool is the best choice.

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@SarasCollection this one 👍🏻

[@AJlocksandlocks]

Great video mate, of only if have seen this a week ago, I've just bought the 6 and 6b thinking they were for revered keyways not picking orientatin 😅 nevermind something to keep me entertained 😂

[@Dmaclocksport]

Thanks. Ah well never mind. You can never have too many shiny locksport stuff. At least, that's what I keep telling myself! 🤣

[@AJlocksandlocks]

@@Dmaclocksport 🤣 yeah that's true mate, just have to keep finding hiding spots from the Mrs for it all 🤣

Respected, Can you recommend me website where I can buy Thanks

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@davorgavrilovic9323 there are a few dodgy ones about, but I believe ukbumpkeys sells the good ones 👍🏻

[@capitannutella3760]

hey hello bro, i want to buy this lishi but i have some lock. I have some of Cisa and some of Yale but all of my lock they have the pins facing downwards like your lock. if i buy this lishi can i use on both? thanks

[@alextop1850]

Hello mate I have a yale house lock I need to pick uk 🇬🇧 do you think this is the best tool 🔧 for the job or better one currently?

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@alextop1850 it really would depend on the keyway and type of lock as lishi are keyway specific. The best and most universal tools are hooks and tensioners. Either option takes time, skill and practice of course

[@alextop1850]

@@Dmaclocksport it's just your standard yale house lock put on my van rear door 🚪 but locked keys in. What do you think is best cheap tools 🔧 to get for UK 🇬🇧

Excellent videos! I have 2 questions, 1. When trying to open a lock with the pick how do you know which direction to turn it to open it? 2.What camera are you using for these great closeups. thank you for these great video's!

[@Dmaclocksport]

@@user-zx7tg4ph5r thanks! 1. As a locksporter, anyway you like. As a locksmith, turn away from the door jam. 2. I use my phone for all my videos and editing. It's just a Samsung S22 😎👍🏻

[@user-zx7tg4ph5r]

@@Dmaclocksport I meant a pad lock. Is it clockwise the rule of thumb?

[@3vil3lvis]

Instead of guessing where the pins line up while using a 6 pin lishi on a 5 pin lock, Deviant Ollam has made an STL file (that he offers for free on his website or you can order printed ones if you don't have a printer) to 3d Print a spacer that you put over the front of your lishi. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGHYdn57ncitd9Esi=CM2Tdhem8vtrU65a
