When I saw LPL’s demo of the Lishi pick, that’s when a lot of “Nothing on five, a little click on four” all started to make much more sense to me. But your video, with diagrams showing what is going on inside the lock, that has really helped. Thank you very much!
@@wileecoyote5749 - LPL is the “Lock Picking Lawyer”. One of the best and most famous lockpickers on TH-cam. Last time he won the world competition, he finished something like eight minutes before the second fastest picker. He’s famous for saying things like “Little click on five, nothing on four”, etc… as he picks locks faster than you thought humanly possible.
I was completely taken aback by just how simple a solution this pick is. I'm not an expert but definitely not a novice and this tool is just perfect for my needs. Especially when I'm trying to show my 13 yo son how it all works. Thanks for the vid, bro!
Saw the LPL's video and was fascinated but was skeptical because he's so quick. Thanks for the in depth explanation and demo for us novices. Makes much more sense.
I've come to LOVE my Lishi tools... I started off with the three basic late model domestic GM 10 cut, Ford 8 cut, Chrysler 8 cut.... I mostly do industrial, commercial and residential work, I'm not set up for duplicating transponder keys, don't really have room in the vehicle for the new (EXPENSIVE) equipment and there's two really great locksmiths in town who specialize in auto, so I just focus on the stuff I can unlock and decode, cut a new key on the old HPC1200, the specialists don't have to come out on a call that would take them away from more profitable work... Awesome, $300 bucks worth of tooling and blanks, and I've got a new revenue stream AND don't have to risk an inside the door, or long reach attack on a now, "technically classic" car or fleet vehicle. I was gonna skip the residential ones.... Most residential Schlage and all Kwikset pin tumblers, I can usually just rake, or rake and then finish SPPing, those I can't usually open with bumping or pick gun, and that's IF they can't just be bypassed... For, those that I just can't KIK cylinders are $5 a piece through my supplier, screw it, I'll eat that cost in the rare event it happens.... Industrial, I do hardly any picking or decoding... They're all stamped on the face, I have the code book and MK schedule... Look it up, make a new key, if it doesn't work, bad cylinder, drill it and replace... in 7 years it's happened TWICE. BUT I picked up the SC4 JUST for when there's new construction and the project manager on a site didn't bother to talk to the locksmith, and ordered their doors WITH hardware that's NOT the standard hardware the companies use... The company likes SC4 keyway Schlage grade 1 stuff, but Hagar, Yale, etc SC4 grade 2 stuff got installed for example, and OFTEN whoever installs the doors forgets to pass off keys.... There's nothing really BAD about that hardware, BUT, these sites don't WANT that stuff... they want what's spec for them so if need be their EHS folks know exactly how to kill it in an emergency without waiting on the locksmith to drive an hour and a half to them. Guess what happens to that installed but brand new Hagar, Yale, etc, hardware when I replace it to spec? YEP.... Free locks that I can sell to another customer (usually light commercial) who doesn't care about the brand or model, cheaper than new but still effectively brand new (with full disclosure or course, since it's not "new in box"... and I didn't have to pay a dime for them. I just swap out, decode them, make keys, and step three (or four in this case), profit... THEN I got to thinking about my residential calls where customer lost their keys, but because of the situation they really don't NEED a rekey.... They lost their housekey at the beach (which happens frequently around here) or they lost their housekey on vacation and there's nothing else to tie the key to their address, etc.... Now I pick, decode, cut a new key, Here's charge for my trip charge/pick, plus $5 for a decode and code cut.... I get off the call, and on to the next one, faster, customer saves money, everyone's happy.... THEN I found out you can decode the KW1 "Smart"key with a Lishi.... It's tricky, and not a 100% foolproof process (at least not for this fool, at least not yet) BUT considering that Kwikset still produces a FEW models where you can NOT remove the cylinder to reset it or swap it out (SHAME ON YOU KWIKSET, FOR THAT AND A LOT OF OTHER STUFF) which means if I have to kill it it means a WHOLE new lock for the customer, it's worth a bit of extra time to keep the customer happy because I saved them money. I mean I don't say it about a lot of products, there's LOADS of tools that are cool, but their expense and unitasker status, that a slightly more time consuming but already familiar process already covers, means they're not worth it... But for a working locksmith... those Lishi picks really are a total gamechanger, and with just a couple of situations like that, I MORE than made my money back on them after just a couple jobs.
@@wallywrench9844 Unless you can give me some references (in which case I'm always looking to learn something I don't know)...Not in this case. MOST Kwikset hardware has removable cylinders... The 917 smartkey series is not only not field reversable for keyway orientation (the lever itself is field reversable), but the cylinder is NOT removable from the spindle non destructively, unless they've changed it since the last time I worked on one (which was a few years ago)... I spent over an hour on hold with Kwikset tech support to find that out the hard way after I'd killed the cylinder expecting an easy way to pop a new one in.
Have been using Lishi picks for 3 years and that was one of the best descriptions on picking and pin stack set determination I have seen yet. Thank you sir.
Learned more in this video about how locks work and lock picking than all previous videos combined. Would love to see a video like this but with security pins. Revolutionary tool!
I received my Lishi SC1 yesterday and after watching your video, I was able to 'feel' and 'see' what the pins were telling me. I was able to successfully open my dead bolt and door knob locks :) Couldn't have done it so easily without this video!! Thanks so much!!
sure thing, as long as we're offering a fair price. the market for these is becoming flooded and prices are dropping everywhere, so search around for the best deal. (most sites are selling them for $70 to $80 now, I believe)
@@DeviantOllam well considering the amount of free content I've gotten from you a fair price from you can be a bit higher than a fair price somewhere else.
Hey Deviant, This is so easy to see the decoded key to remake and all you need is just look at the tool on a recon run and cut your own keys to get entrance when on a physical security job!
@@lordjaashin You still call it the "video description" instead of "doobly-doo"? Ok, boomer. Do you also still say you're going to "tape" a program from "TV"?

This was super helpful! All I know I learned from LPL videos. The only problem is, you can't feel through the videos. This really helped me understand what it should feel like.
Been following your work for about 5 years, got me into lock picking as a hobby. I’m excited for this just to gain a little more experience on what I’m feeling when I manipulate a lock.
Signed up for the giveaway, and I can't afford your pay content (I am poor. What can I say?) but I DO try to promote you by sharing your content with friends frequently. I don't know whether to credit you or LPL (Probably both) for my recent interest in lock picking, but I have been having fun with it, and love the thrill of getting the lock to turn. After watching dozens of videos from each of you I got my first lock pick set a few months ago, and immediately cracked the 5-pin padlock I use when I go to the gym in under 30 seconds just with the head knowledge the two of you had given me with your videos. Keep up the great work.
Great content on your channel, especially over the past year. I really enjoy the variety of different subjects you talk about and demonstrate, each one interesting in it's own way. Like one of those fancy drinks you make me want to try out. Personally, my favorite topics you speak about are pentesting, lock picking, firearms, and I love the stories you share from past jobs or encounters you've had. Excellent stuff, keep it up. Also want to thank you for introducing me to sous vide. It's a game changer. 👍
... and it visually tells you how far to insert the pick arm to reach a specific pin (something I as a beginner struggle with). Great additional details added to some other videos about these tools. 👍
I've not really ever picked a lock, I've played with a training lock a friend had years ago but mostly just watch some of these videos from time to time. This video and the lishi completely clarified things for me. I understood binding but this just makes it all crystal clear now.
Excellent explanation. I always thought of these tools mostly to decode, and yes they make picking easier but to help illustrate what is happening for learning I never really connected with before.
Don't expect you to see this or read it but brought my first lishi lock (HU101) the other day, in case I ever got locked out of my car. Incredibly easy to use and very well thought out. Think i'll slowly increase the number of these picks I have on hand in case I come to need them in the future. Very very useful.
PS I’m caring for my youngest son who has Leukemia but doing better than he has in a while. Home now. Thank The Lord. Hoping lock picking may be a fun hobby for him and imi to do together. He cant do much besides play video games. So glad i found your teaching videos! I entered your drawing, so we’re Keeping our fingers crossed! 😊
This video is probably the most clear explanation of why a set pin still has some springiness! You could have also displayed how the feel changes when you overset a single pin. With that extra information this video would have been perfect! Maybe create another video which demonstrates oversetting and behavior of security pins with Lishi tool? The combination of Lishi tool and the animation makes it super easy to understand the movement.
Awesome video. Between demostrating the bounce and the animation showing where that bounce us comjng from on a set pin, it clearly demonstrated something not intuitive. Thanks!
I've really been enjoying the content. It's helped me expand my horizons in hobby lock picking and expanded my horizons in the field of pen testing. Thank you!
Dev! I'd love the 5 pin Tool! Guys if you've not been to an RTA class GET YOUR BOSS TO AUTHORIZE THE BUDGET YOU WONT EVER BE THE SAME AFTER. I took Devs 5 day class in Orlando (ISACA) class in Feb of 18, then for the first time ever ate dinner with Dev and Bob at a Venezuelan joint after class wrapped the last day, had a great time.. Budgets have been tight the last 2 years, but I'll be joining another RTA class soon as possible.
Hey, good to hear from you! And we would love to have you back in class with us again. If you haven't seen our Surveillance Dynamics course or our Electronic Physical Access Controls and RFID class, those two are both really popular. :-)
"Pin 5 might be a little sticky there" You raise a question I've been wondering about for some time. I like the aerosol-suspension graphite lock lubricant (which seems pretty hard to locate these days) from people like Lock-Ease, just for keeping locks I use regularly working well and easily. What do you think about it for picking? Does it make it harder, or easier?
This has been a revelation. Set Bounce! Hmmm I am going to leave work early to run home and test this out. If only Lishi did more tools like this for European cylinders! Thanks again Deviant, always dishing out them golden nuggets of truth.
I like to think I could keep my cool and not freak out if I ran into you in public, but I'd sure as hell buy you all the beers. Have to fangirl when nobody is looking. The internet is an.. amazing.. place. There are more than a few toxic people BUT there is also a plethora of the absolute best communities.
@@DeviantOllam what do you think of the lockmaster version.... maybe better for the professional picker but not as good for learning? What do you think
During the time I've watched your vids, LPL and Bosnia Bill's vids I've learned a lot more on physical security. I knew most locks are crap but just how crappy they are 🙄 off and on over many years I've picked quite a few locks and opened more than a few vehicle's for people that left keys inside. As a middle school kid living by a church it was funny how many times people locked their keys in the car.
I think I like the Wendt variation of this style of tool that I’ve seen on BB’s channel. Either way a great idea, especially if your looking to decode the bitting for red teaming or if you’re a locksmith.
Awesome how they turn an art into a science with the line grids. I wonder if someday they’ll take it a step further and fully automate it with some lil sensors & motors 😮
If I wanted to buy the Lishi picks in the order of most common keyways first, could you rank all the various models (keyways) in the order that they exist out there? - (like for example, I would guess that KW1 and SC1 would be the first two most common that you run into in the field, but you are the expert) - please give us your popularity ranking!
An incredible tool indeed, I been amazed by them since I seen them in a BosnianBill vijeo years ago, and been wanting one for years, but they are way off my budget because it's only a hobby. But thank you for the video it will be useful to illustrate this point when I teach my friends!
Excellent. When I bought mine I got the KW5 and the SC4 thinking I could use them for either 5 pin or 6 pin. I think it was BosnianBill that first suggested you could use it for both, but I did discover (the hard way) that's not always possible. Thx for the Video. I have a lock that I have not been able to open yet with the LISHI so I want to give it another go.
These look so useful. I'm mucking around with a training lock but I'm not that great at feeling these things. It's too bad locks here in Europe rarely use any of these keys.
If you like the feel of these tool, you should look at their older (car) lock pick. The blind touch picks are great for getting a feel for picking. The tool takes care of the spacing, and you just need to set the depth. A friend of mine described it like "bowling with the gutter rails up".
I've been looking at getting my hands on some of these I with someone would sell a "full set" so I can make just 1 large purchase and get all of the major padlock and residential lock tools.
In this video I link below he has an overset pin using the Lishi and he resets by releasing all tension; so you can see it yourself: th-cam.com/video/Y023QVd8pvY/w-d-xo.html

I took Devs 5 day class in Orlando (ISACA) class in Feb of 18, then for the first time ever ate dinner with Dev and Bob at a Venezuelan joint after class wrapped the last day, had a great time..
Budgets have been tight the last 2 years, but I'll be joining another RTA class soon as possible.
Hey, good to hear from you! And we would love to have you back in class with us again. If you haven't seen our Surveillance Dynamics course or our Electronic Physical Access Controls and RFID class, those two are both really popular. :-)
I've always thought the Lishi tools are something Jim West would carry on "The Wild, Wild West".
Not the movie, the TV series.
😂
Lol
"Pin 5 might be a little sticky there"
You raise a question I've been wondering about for some time.
I like the aerosol-suspension graphite lock lubricant (which seems pretty hard to locate these days) from people like Lock-Ease, just for keeping locks I use regularly working well and easily.
What do you think about it for picking? Does it make it harder, or easier?
Another fantastic and helpful video...thanks! Wondering if these tools would work with spools and serrated pins?
This has been a revelation. Set Bounce! Hmmm I am going to leave work early to run home and test this out. If only Lishi did more tools like this for European cylinders! Thanks again Deviant, always dishing out them golden nuggets of truth.
Yes! This is a Contents i will partake in. The others i left to those who really needed/wanted that stuff! :)
Awesome video man, really fascinated by these lishi tools and would love to win one - keep making great stuff
I like to think I could keep my cool and not freak out if I ran into you in public, but I'd sure as hell buy you all the beers. Have to fangirl when nobody is looking.
The internet is an.. amazing.. place. There are more than a few toxic people BUT there is also a plethora of the absolute best communities.
Awesome visualization indeed!)
Very interesting. I'd love to try this...
You should!
@@DeviantOllam what do you think of the lockmaster version.... maybe better for the professional picker but not as good for learning? What do you think
Very cool bud thanks for the show great info as always count me in
glad to have you here! 😁👍
@@DeviantOllam Thanks
During the time I've watched your vids, LPL and Bosnia Bill's vids I've learned a lot more on physical security. I knew most locks are crap but just how crappy they are 🙄 off and on over many years I've picked quite a few locks and opened more than a few vehicle's for people that left keys inside. As a middle school kid living by a church it was funny how many times people locked their keys in the car.
I think I like the Wendt variation of this style of tool that I’ve seen on BB’s channel. Either way a great idea, especially if your looking to decode the bitting for red teaming or if you’re a locksmith.
Awesome how they turn an art into a science with the line grids. I wonder if someday they’ll take it a step further and fully automate it with some lil sensors & motors 😮
Very good explanation! I like that too!
This video is so underrated.
If I wanted to buy the Lishi picks in the order of most common keyways first, could you rank all the various models (keyways) in the order that they exist out there? - (like for example, I would guess that KW1 and SC1 would be the first two most common that you run into in the field, but you are the expert) - please give us your popularity ranking!
Wish I was at a bar today. 😁 I pick at the bar while I chat with people.
An incredible tool indeed, I been amazed by them since I seen them in a BosnianBill vijeo years ago, and been wanting one for years, but they are way off my budget because it's only a hobby. But thank you for the video it will be useful to illustrate this point when I teach my friends!
👍😁👍
I could see having one of them for your teaching lock, even if it's expensive and just for that specific keyway.
I agree that it's a great teaching tool.
Great video - and yet another pronunciation of Schlage to add to the list.
It’s the only way I have ever heard it
Such a nice learning tool
Love the channel always have great info!
Excellent. When I bought mine I got the KW5 and the SC4 thinking I could use them for either 5 pin or 6 pin. I think it was BosnianBill that first suggested you could use it for both, but I did discover (the hard way) that's not always possible. Thx for the Video. I have a lock that I have not been able to open yet with the LISHI so I want to give it another go.
Same here, and also learned it doesn't seem possible always
These look so useful. I'm mucking around with a training lock but I'm not that great at feeling these things. It's too bad locks here in Europe rarely use any of these keys.
Long time listener, first time caller. Uh, Marco is a mailbox head. Sign me up, please. *waits for fig nuts or howling mad Murphy*
I might be able to keep better track of this than my keys. I’ve definitely picked my way into my dwelling more than once
If you like the feel of these tool, you should look at their older (car) lock pick.
The blind touch picks are great for getting a feel for picking. The tool takes care of the spacing, and you just need to set the depth. A friend of mine described it like "bowling with the gutter rails up".
I've been looking at getting my hands on some of these I with someone would sell a "full set" so I can make just 1 large purchase and get all of the major padlock and residential lock tools.
I didn't know they made these for normal pin tumbler locks! I only knew about the car pick versions
Thanks for the great video. What does an "over-set" pin look like? Can that also be visualized with this tool?
In this video I link below he has an overset pin using the Lishi and he resets by releasing all tension; so you can see it yourself: th-cam.com/video/Y023QVd8pvY/w-d-xo.html
Oooh any of these useful for UK style door locks? Yale etc? I need to up my spp experience and think this may be a useful education tool!
