[379] Demo On How To Use The KW1 Lishi Tool

[@tridechris22]

Those things are amazing and dangerously easy to use judging from the videos I've watched. Great info as always ands keep it coming!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

they are a very powerful tool. They are a great thing to have but in the wrong hands there is reason for concern

[@russej02]

I'm so glad you reconsidered your intro!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks!

[@LawGPT]

Another great video. I love these Lishi tools. I'd like to see a video of the new Best Lock (BE2) tool at work.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

unfortunately, I never bought one because I can't imagine I would ever need one

[@billpine2875]

Here in the UK the most common cylinder profile is the Yale 1A. It looks a bit like your KW1 there. But do you know if one of the different types might br a better fit for our Yale 1A ?

[@MA-lq6eb]

EXCELLENT DEMO OF TOOL!👌 U R HIGHLY UNDERRATED BRO...U DESERVE WAY MORE VIEWS, SUBS, & THUMBS UP👍 KEEP EM COMIN U GOT MY SUPPORT!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@PSScopeOnARope]

Whats a good place to start learning lock picking? Like any specific kit you would recommend?

[@joelortizjr9951]

Can you rekey a deadbolt lock with one of these? Using the re-keying pin deadbolts come with?

[@CherylsWorld.63]

I saw these lishi tools with 2 levers also (lishi hu101). I would love immensely if there were videos that explain what binding and other terminology means. When you touch #1 for example do you push the lever up or down, how is supposed to feel if you do need to push the pin up (I'm guessing it's up).

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I recommend doing a search. There are countless videos

[@bearsback5099]

Great job my friend.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

thank you for the kind words

[@christov4120]

Dumb question here, after you decode the lock, how do you cut a key for the lock you decoded? Any way to cut on a key cutter that uses a master key to cut a blank?

[@TheRealEvengers]

Any chance you could show the pins in that lock? That would be cool to see the whole picture. I kept thinking that pin one would be a small pin because of how the pin was a 6. But then I saw the bitting for pin 1 and got confused. I guess they just had a longer key pin for that cut?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Check out my other videos, I have used this on a ton of cutaways. 6 is long keypin and 1 is short

[@TheRealEvengers]

@@HelpfulLockPicker is that true for all locks?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

@@TheRealEvengers yes

[@roysammons2445]

The picking arm looks very delicate. How easy is it to put too much pressure on it and for it to bend or snap? I would imagine an entry level picker might damage it?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

one thing I worry about is bending it and throwing off the decoding accuracy. I haven't had a problem but I try to be as careful as possible. I used a little more than I would like but it made the video easier to demonstrate

[@ImGumbyDangit]

The SC4 will also work with SC1, likewise the KW5 will also work with the KW1. So if your thinking about getting these skip the SC1 and KW1. There is also a new Master Padlock version. I think it does both M1 and M2 but not 100% certain if it works both keyways.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I am looking forward to the Master Lock one :)

[@psychodeli77]

What os best lishi for European locks you think?

[@spencerpeake1564]

Gotta get me one of these

[@warrenjansen7096]

That is too cool! I need one! Well I want one. When is the giveaway. Did I mention I love you?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for the kind words. These tools are a tad expensive to do for a giveaway but if you can ever get your hands on one you won't be disappointed :-)

[@51-FS]

I just ordered me one... and the one for master locks

[@3556Danny]

Thank you for the instructional vid well done keep up the great work/vids. :)

[@Mr808islands]

im just curious is am5 kwi1 both compatable to unlock house lock or diffrent.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

AM5 is for a padlock which would be odd to find on a house. The other one is a common residential lock in the US

Very nice my friend 👍

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out Nico!

[@BrandonBaumvideo]

Is it possible to buy the SC4 and KW5 tools and use them on the 5 pin locks but just not count the 6th pin on the tool or do you have to buy the actual 5 pin versions to use on 5 pin locks?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Yes it is and I will probably make a video on it at some point. However, these tools are not super fragile but fragile enough where I don't prefer to do that

[@MsSaudm]

Does Lishi make a tool for the Dexter line of schlage locks ?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Only SC1 and SC4

[@gantry289]

A very neat tool, to bad the ones for door locks are so expensive.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it!

[@LockPickingCoalMiner]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@grilledchickenwrap]

can I buy a KW5 and use it on a KW1 lock ?

[@lmars5933]

Great review 😎

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@SantinoA6]

How would I know if the lock is a 5 or 6 pin

[@usaamahelkiki]

@HelpfulLockPicker, is there any way to shape the inside of any lock in your mind by picturing it using the feedback that you get from picking pins? I mean like the height required for each pin to be picked, is there a way to know how high they need to be for the lock to open using the feedback you get from picking each pin? If so, then is it possible to make a key with each height of the key cut exactly according to how you imagined it?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

the amount of precision you would need would make that nearly impossible I feel like without using a tool like this

[@usaamahelkiki]

@@HelpfulLockPicker i absolutely love how you reply! thank you!

[@bamseteddy602]

witch lishi tool is best for ruko locks

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

None because they don't exist

[@bamseteddy602]

@@HelpfulLockPicker what about Genuine Lishi R52L Domestic Pick / Decoder - 2 in 1???

[@normanhanif668]

whats the diference between between SC and KW lishi

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

The keyway it works on

[@adraja1988]

How to cut the with that number like 64422. How to find depth of the key

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I just have a lock smith do it

[@AveragePicker]

If trying by hand, you could align it to a key, make a few rough marks, cut and refine it. If you needed or wanted depth comparison, align it to an existing key/s for a clearer reference on what a 2/4/6 cut depths are.

[@pouncerminned863]

I think best way to defeat the kw1 lishi is to use a 7 pin when rekeying a lock since the lishi only has 6 depths

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for sharing

[@fluffypinkpandas]

Now if only there were kw1 "masterkeys" with adjustable notches on them so that i can press pins "6-4-4-2-2" on the key and turn it into a key that can always open that specific lock and then be able to reset it without buying another key

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Check out the Sputnik

[@fluffypinkpandas]

@@HelpfulLockPicker Im not seeing a whole lot on the sputnik. or at least not things that im talking about with it. but does it actually have configurable pins on it that you can set after decoding to keep using it as a key in that configuration?

[@TomatenDK]

After watching about 50 videos about this lishi tool, I finaly ordered one from UKLP in the UK. I live in Denmark. What a dissapointment ! It doesnt fit any of our locks here !? Not the door to my appartment and none of the pad locks I´ve tested either. Have 8 different pad locks. The tool wont even go into the cylinder :O Waste of a lot of money. !

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I am just surprised you watched 50 videos and did not understand that you need the specific lishi for the specific keyway. That is not a fault of the tool.

[@Pyrolock]

I don't believe this tool will work on a Kwikset "Smart Key" lock; works only on a standard pin tumbler Kwikset

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I think it would work on the Gen 1 version but the later ones you would likely have to do that shim / bypass thing to tension it

[@CherylsWorld.63]

I don't understand what bidding code means or 6 cut. All I do is watch these videos and everyone basically just picks locks in them. I want someone that'll explain what they're doing inside, not just use words I don't understand so that it's not helpful.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Do you want to understand? There are many videos out there

[@pouncerminned863]

Bitting refers to the teeth on a key. They are certain heights for a reason. The teeth are where the pin rest on the key that brings it to sheer line do the lock can turn. Bitting numbers represent each tooth measurement. So if u look on your key you may see numbers. Those numbers are the bitting. And that is what each tooth measurement is so you can a copy of your key

[@fdyjt]

i bought this one for europe (belgium) and it doesnt work so europe people dont buy it wont work haha
