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. 🙂👍
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
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 😔
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.
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 🫶🤜🤛🍻
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!
@@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 😎👍🏻
@@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
@@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 🇬🇧
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. th-cam.com/video/Z0uEKEhczAo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CM2Tdhem8vtrU65a
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 😂
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

Ah nice. Cheers Nick 😎👍🏻
Nice and entertaining show, many thanks for it my friend 👍
Thanks H 🍺😎
Very interesting indeed 👍
Great demo - all we need now is for LockChuck to 3D print a spacer ,as used in DD locks 😃👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Yeah, that'd be good.I guess you'd need a few different thicknesses though 👍🏻
Nice demo D they take a bit of getting used to 👍
They do, but work great once you get the hang on them 😎👍🏻
