How To Use a 6 Pin Lishi Pick and Decoder (SC4, KW5, etc) On 5 Pin Locks! | Lishi Standoff Spacer

[@angelinthecenterfold]

Damn i just got a lishi off red team tools i had no idea they threw in that spacer. The spacer acting as shoulder honestly rocks! Great vid breaking it down.

Hi I am a beginner, the locks you have shown are American , will the six pin Lishi style Yale 6B for a Euro locks be able to pick a 5 pin lock as in your excellent video. Thank Michael

[@j.gabriel8573]

I've actually used a KW5 and a KW1 lock and it works fine just backed it out one position I haven't tried the SC4 in an SC1 but I imagine it will Have the same results and work out fine. Great info and did not know about the 3D printable piece Awesome information my friend. I hope your classes are going well and everything in your life sir. Stay safe, well, and sane👍🦾

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks! I enjoy this new approach. I hope all is well with you

[@j.gabriel8573]

@@HelpfulLockPicker It is going well and if you're still interested in one of my challenge locks I will gladly build you one sir. You have been on my list for one but I want to make sure that you do want it. I know that you mentioned you really don't do challenge locks and if you do not want one that is fine with me I will not be heartbroken or upset that just means that's another one off the list. I still pick when I can I've got a load of locks that have been sent to me that I need to go through but between work life and building CL's I have to do it in moderation a little bit here and there. Actually I'm about to go home and work on some pin ideas to add in some of my CL's that I will be putting together and sending out. I think it kind of like building challenge locks a little bit more than picking them.

@@j.gabriel8573 You don’t need a spacer or to back out the Lishi KW5 or SC4 in a 5 pin. Insert the Lishi all the way in as normal, and instead of making the #1 pin useless, as when using the spacer, all you have to do is not pick the #6 pin. Here is a link to BosnianBill’s use of it clearly. He’s not using a spacer or backing out the Lishi at all. Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYncpqewjtBld5Y

Great video, as always! I've been using the kwikset 6pin Lishi tool on 5 pin locks with no problem and same with the schlage 6 pin on 5 pins, without any spacer because I didn't know there was one! Nevertheless, it seems like I've been successful opening 5 and 6 pin locks, almost every time! The American lock Lishi tool I'm not having great luck with but, I still can't pick American locks either! I'm hoping once I feel the tolerances while picking, I'll have much more success with the Lishi am tool! Any suggestions appreciated!

I feel the padlock ones are more difficult to use. For me, as long as it decodes the lock I'm happy

Hi Steve these picks are getting more than I would hope to pay so are you saying my 6 pin pick will be fine on a 5 pin lock with out the spacer ( I mean if I am already poor would you say the spacer is a waste of money ? and the money would be better put towards something like food etc ?) ? thank you for your response!!!

@@HelpfulLockPicker my question to you is based on what I have read the sc4 and kw5 will work in most locks? So it seems if I have limited space those are the 2 to get but may be I should also get the left version s in case it feels more natural to pick on the other side I would imagine it's the same thing a accept every things is on the other side?

[@BrianMcElwain]

I found that if you are using a 6 pin lishi in a 5 pin lock with the standoff spacer then you do not want to try and actuate it with the lishi once it's picked. If the hardware isn't smoothly working you can damage the base of the blade trying to turn it.

Love your videos. Just so I'm clear, Kw 4 will do 6 pin, Kw4 with spacer will do 5 pin,Kw 1 will decode (but not pick) Kwikset Smartkey but Kw 5 will not, Sc 20 will do all Schlage keyways and MC 2/3 will pick Master padlocks but is not the best. It will decode an open one though. So would a KW4,KW1 with spacer,SC2 and Mc2/3 be a good mix? Thanks..Peter

Personally it is better to get the tool for the keyway. The spacers can be helpful but it is better to get the right tool for the right job

[@stevenhogan6019]

Not sure about Schlage locks, but with kwikset, u can tell it’s a 6 pin if there’s a square at the top of the key way (keyhole). If there’s no square it’s a 5 pin

got a new question for you is a left handed pick likely a waste of money I mean it seems that most lock turn clock wise is that correct thank you

It is cost effective to pick a lock and then make a key to it. There is usually not a need to replace the whole thing

[@faquir885]

hello, thank you so much, please i realy do not understand about many tolls of lishi, is it one lishy with your solution can unluck all locks ?

[@SheikhItalabowt]

No he's basically demonstrating how you can use a 6 pin model to unlock the five pin locks as well using this spacer which basically stops the pick being too long but it still has to be the same keeway so for example an SC1 and SC4 you can use the SC4 to do the SC1 and the SC4.

[@joshdurbin8045]

Don't forget the SC20. Your minds will blow when you find out what it does.

[@thomascoker7703]

When in the door not in vise. How do you tell the number of pins? In the field you also get crusty binded tight punning even with lock lube. People abuse thier locks and none open that easily.

You can count them with your pick

From my understanding i got this from russej02 video from 5 years ago, the number 6 would just have zero play to it. No bounce or anything. U essentially just IGNORE number 6 and work number 5 through 1 to open. No need for spacers or anything. He even said u can save money by just buying the 6 pin kwisket and 6 pin shelege and not using the number 6 line. Can be hard to tell if its a 6 or 5 pin. I watched him open a 5 pin very easy with a 6 pin lock. Is there anything im missing? Seemed pretty straightforward 🤔🔥 many thanks everyone

[@daviedood2503]

Ok, so this video shows the extra part is just showing u to skip number 1 instead and working 2 through 6. Isn't this essentially the same thing just a different number set? Seems easier to just put the tool in, work 1 through 5 and not even worry about number 6. 🤔
