sight read & cut key with Lishi Cutter: thermostat cover lock

[@stephencrayton2956]

If you have a key cutting machine, almost all 1 depths on nearly every type of key will give just a slight cut on the surface of the key. If you mark all your keys with a 1 depth it will allow you to just have to worry about the depths instead of the spacing. I do this on every key I impression and it works great.

[@kcet1948]

Does anyone recognize what model is that key machine?

[@yrtuag]

Looks like a Versa Guard tstat cover. Ive installed quite a number of these. Usually all keyed the same. I have a bunch of extra keys where I've put multiple boxes in the houses I service. I'll send you a few if you want, you've got nothing to loose by trying it and you'll gain time if it does work. Appreciate the video. Flirting with a pair of those cutters myself 😎😎😎😎

[@azskyking6542]

I always start with a CH751. It's far too common. Then a handful of test keys I have. Then I see about impressioning keys. Thanks Jason

[@WilliamMancel]

Nice visual decoding. That Lishi looks like it's perfect for someone like myself, who doesn't have a key cutter, and only cuts keys for challenge locks. Better than hand filing every cut.

[@AquaTech225]

Thinking the same

[@gjacobson76]

I am planning on using the Lishi cutter to make sets of depth and space keys. That's a poor mans code cutter. Lol

[@mal13able]

eXCELLANT WORK with the Lishi,i cannot wait to use the one i ordered,good video as always!

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

Very nice tutorial on how to make keys thanks for sharing Jason

[@bird718]

Lishi Cutter, now that was educational

[@gjacobson76]

I just ordered a Lishi tool!

[@KingStreetRob]

Hi Kim... Glad the Lishi is working out for you Jason.

[@francoisbelangerboisclair]

My first try will be the CH751. Most of them are coded the same.

[@AquaTech225]

Was about to say the same. Though I’m sure he knows that it’s more showing that it can be made by sight I guess

[@WRWhizard]

Like learning the technique, but that lock is one of the major keyed alike locks. Every single one of those is the same. I am an HVAC tech and I've had that key for years.

[@selock]

yep, it is but turning a precut key in a lock doesn’t really pull in the views or teach anything 😂

[@bobbykeyz1263]

That was awesome brother. I had one of those the only thing I didn't like about it was the way it warped the key a little when cutting it.

[@selock]

Bobby Keyz it’s definitely a left handed model...or something :)

[@BD90..]

What was the hardest thing for you when learning to be a locksmith. Would be cool to talk about your experiences as a apprentice locksmith or trainee locksmith. I think the hardest part for me would be trying to remember all the different types of key blanks and what they are for in the first year of locksmithing.

[@waynegrant1712]

@@51-FS Sorry, locksmiting is not something you're born with, it is a learned experience. It is not abstract, intuitive, or metaphysical. Also, it is not an ego-trip. BlackDolphin90's question is a valid one.

[@RMSecurityGroup]

Really awesome video thanks for sharing.

[@johnrossell3201]

Otoscope works good

[@pouncerminned863]

Hi what is the measurement or angle that the ceiling 14MC produces on the key blank? I’m working on making a key cutter tool for the lishi and working on kw1 and I’m confused on the angle and flat measurements. Do u know by any chance?

[@pauleyedwin6056]

Have you but schlage keys with this ???

There should be a retaining wafer in the back to pull the plug

James gentry not on all small locks :) only some

[@dvismelchor6902]

How much would that work cost?

[@presidentadrian]

Dayumn.... How many different model key blanks do u have to stock?

[@selock]

hackerseven 12. Exactly 12

[@Hunty6136]

Nice Informative Video Thanks

[@peterdambra6387]

Nice Job Jason. But these cheap locks aren’t worth the time. I bought what I believe was a lot of 10 with two keys each for like $15. Just to have on hand when these little jobs pop up.

[@selock]

Peter D'Ambra they seem to be only a handful of codes, I did try the one I cut before but it wasn’t it. So now I’ve already got two :) I’ve gotten pretty quick at doing this so really for the cost of two blanks and 2-3 minutes (using my code machine, I only used the Lishi for video reason) it’s actually more profit/less extra stock in doing it this way. Also these are pretty limited on codes anyway, I’ve added this one & the last one I did to my tryout keys ;)

[@chevylandt.v]

Does the key cutter work on padlocks and house keys?

[@selock]

Chevy Land T.V yep!

[@chevylandt.v]

@@selock ok thanks I would like to try it.

Not sure about locally. But eBay I’m sure someone in the states is selling it

[@doppelganger310]

@@AquaTech225 thnx buddy i did find one on ebay but from china and arrived in 2weeks pretty fast for china... i looked local and came up short every time... this is a great tool ive made 5 sets of 2 master lock keys for the propane cages at work using the cutter and a rotary tool to get it perfectly matched.. im tryn to hand cut a ignition key now.. failed twice ..but its not as easy as normal keys .

[@justaguy427]

Probably a 501ch key.. LOL

[@MrKenstar2]

What does that cost?

[@selock]

The tool or the service? The tool is like $35-50 the service was about $85
