- Video 1463 is PROOF that it is time to replace that old Kwikset KW1 lockset! The new Lishi KW1 2-in-1 Pick & decoder allows an UNSKILLED user to quickly pick open Kwiksets, even if the lock contains security pins. These tools represent a clear and present danger to anyone depending on a Kwikset lock for their security.

"This should be regulated"
"I'm givin it away!"
That would make him a straw buyer!
My thoughts exactly. Way to be a responsible locksmith.
@MegaSkilla and soon the copies on DH gate....
@@Magicspirit11 can't wait for a $30 version on DH GATE
@@stoneridgezutt5088 👍😊 Chinese copying their own products... Gotta love it.
Maybe we should regulate locks instead of lock picks... After all it's the locks that are the problem.
^ This!
Maybe we should regulate criminals. After all it's criminals that are the problem, not the locks or the picks.
@@notahotshot I am pretty sure that if we regulate people, the problem will solve itself.
If there is a way to open anything there is a way to pick/bypass it
They do regulate the high security locks
just bought one i am getting into locksmithing thanks to you and lock picking lawer
I use the 2 in 1 and 3 in 1 car picks every day, I make the mechanical keys once picked, then program the transponder/remote/smart after that. I recently make a key for a vehicle on the Airside of Manchester Airport..... Security there is amazing, beats Military, Prison etc. It took 2 hours to get through security, 15 mins to make a full remote key for the vehicle and 20 seconds to leave......
Hope you overcharged them for every second of it.
What’s a 3 in 1
I met Mr Li, in Manchester England at a Locksmith show. However he couldn't get his interpreter into the UK. Even members of the local Chinese community couldn't understand his heavily accented language. However his picking techniques said a thousand words.
In the UK there is absolutely no regulation on tools. However in Ireland, Locksmithing is completely regulated. Go figure.
Which part of China is he from? He might speak a regional dialect (although they're all supposed to be able to speak Mandarin now).
Hi Ian do Lishi work on UK locks
I'm in the UK just bought one and it won't even go in the lock as the grooves don't match up ! Thought it would work on all locks
@@pugzi84型号很多，针对不同锁有不同型号的，你购买的型号不对
@@无名氏-w9o how would i find that fits british locks then please
I think the point of that circular cutout is so you can put the handle in it so it doesn't flop about.
I am another Lishi owner. The handle won't travel that far into the pick. If you take a look at the tip of the blade (key portion), there is a solid stop to prevent the more delicate pick from over-extending into the keyway. This protects the pick, which can be easily damaged if mistreated. Some Lishi models are prone to getting hung up on the slots cut into the blade if the pick gets even slightly bent.
@@_0x00 Fair enough. Thanks for the clarification. It looked like that would be the thinking behind it. Missed opportunity.
I agree, it would be a great feature. Good idea!
No the point of the hole is for flex. Notice the slot going down the tensioner. They likely pry it apart a bit and clip it on the circle part.
If the hole would be for that , the pick tip would be way front of the key tip .
That tensioning part should be a bit longer and the hole behind the company logo , then it could work .
Very usefull for locksmiths but to control this is what we were told in 1970 and 1980 about normal lock picks . If you need a differant one for every keyway thats alot of tools a criminal would need to purchase . And selected locks is not a criminals first thought its a hammer screwdriver or bolt cropper . .locks arnt picked in 98% of crime cases bill . We have been fighting the establishment for over three centuerys for people today to have a sport or hobby in picking . Most criminals cant be bothered to learn to pick good locks
Yes but in the US a Kwikset and Schlage gets you in almost every home or business.
Magic in Australia, 99% of locks are Lockwood or use their keyway
Its just made kw1 and the others . They will now need to start updating there locks .if you ask me its should improve the locks keyways and here design . And if a country only has one type of lock in this day and age its sad as can get n line relitivly easy . My front door is a medico . There not too expencive for piece of mind . And abloy padlocks on everything else .
@@the_eminent_Joshua_E_Hrouda I am aware of that and thats what I mean; a couple of decoders will open the majority of locks. I guess even more in Australia ;)
Wrong there are a select few however they are few and far between thank god. PS hope I didn't come across disrespectful 👍
It looks easy in your hands, but you are a very talented lock picker. Great review of a cool tool!
It is easy. The Lishi tools make it very simple. The grid shows you exactly where the pin chambers are for a particular lock and the depths. Hence the decode ability.
I think that's the scary part about this tool... even in unskilled hands it is really easy to use. That was the reason for my comment at the end about registration.
I got mine ordered. They had really strict Authorization to purchase standards for new accounts.
I spilled my guts and it's shipping pronto.
I can't wait for Schlage - It's supposed to be out soon.
That thing really visualizes what is going on when you pick a lock (springy, binding, etc.) - would be nice for some of the other locks as well
I wasn't expecting it when I first heard, Lishi 2-in-1 pin tumbler picks coming out for; KW1, SC1, SC4 . Mixed emotions. Sounds practical on one hand, and on the other I just don't know. Able to pick and decode a lock without tearing it apart... But also, being able to pick and decode a lock... without breaking it down and tearing it apart. ---- It's neat, I will give it that. I'm actually surprised that it didn't come sooner. I kind of want a set in my bag, just because... They could be useful in the right circumstances.
I love every video you make bill. I watched you a year ago and ended up buying a set and finding you again. You set a seed
It helps me alot when I'm helping customers unlock they're house door and the numbers help me decode alot easier
I kind of have the inside scoop, I was talking to my contact... A brief history, I'm a long-term Locksmith, and was one of the 1st in this country to have one of these picks. The 5 and 6 pin Schlage, and 6 pin Kwikset should be out by mid-April. Having said that, I was told a Kwikset Smart Key pick is coming out, (I only know that, he didn't elaborate) and some sort of Yale Y1 keyway is coming down the pipe.
There's a big problem though, we can ask for all the picks in the world, and I'M VERY EXCITED that these pin-tumbler picks are coming out! But they're nearing production capacity, so chances of a Medeco pick coming out.... Not likely Bill. Personally, I'd like to see Corbin/Russwin, Sargent, among others.. It's kick-ass, and heartbreaking all at the same time.
That's a quality tool!
Loved this video when it came out 4 years ago! We miss you bill!! ❤
I have KW1, KW5, SC1 and buying another today. These tools are absolutely amazing.
Lishi just cracks me up with these things!
Great video, you have the best lockpick videos on youtube. Great lighting, narration and setup.
Awesome tool! I would love to have it in my tool kit
That’s a really nice tool, and great demonstration!
From quick first impression, the only change that it needs is the pin height indicator numbering on the lock side. Reason being your fingers/hand obstruct present numbering in use.
Wow! Such a cool tool! So simple to use.. crazy!
That is real nice to cut some keys. That's pretty impressive, now for the other locks.
Awesome tool. Thanks Bill. Love your videos.
Thanks for the show and tell Bill. Once they make one for SmartKey that works I'll buy several.
Thanks Bill. I've extensive use of Lishis with automotive lock systems, but was real curious to see how they work with pin tumblers. Granted, Kwikset locks are pretty 'agricultural', but this demo gives weight to Lishis working with other pin tumbler manufacturers. Good demo - cheers!
I would like to have seen you actually decode and cut a key to fit it, just to see the process, and to see just how accurate the tool is.
Great instructional! LiShi is Pronounced LEE-SHIrt. The SHI sound in shirt. SHI () is the same as saying "Mister" in English. Doesn't take away from the video, just wanted to let you know.
watching you use this lets you see ans understand whats going on so much better than watching spp . I do like watching spp though, just cant see what is happening with the pins like you can with this tool.
Your Amazing Bill. Believe me it’s not that easy for just anyone.
Great demo and that looks like a well made tool !
Love your shows, learn lots of new technology
3:22 - Bill, when you said, "I think these things should probably be regulated," did you really mean that or were you engaging in hyperbole to make a point?
My guess would be that it's hyperbole
Hey now, a serial number kept Bill from shooting Lawyer in the leg! Didn't it? @@Novers
Point was , buy better locks folks , some thing with new paracentric keyways
@@Novers I sure hope so.
Quiero una cómo ago
Super tool !
Thank you
I love your channel, work and skills!
Will buy it even if I don't win..Great review. 😎
Great review, Bill !! 😉👍
Always beautiful work showing off the toys. Even "super"/stupid easy entries to kwiksets. I should acquire more fun stuff, especially since I'm trying to have more fun with friends who say, "Picking? You can get in faster by..." That gets to the fun of two people with no tools or those angle grinders or drills everyone seems to carry on them having a race to get in identical locks. But yeah, good review.
Looks like a must have to me ! TY Bill ! Awesome !!!
Great pick. Cheers Bill 🍻
Expectations were low, but damn...
wow, i know the vid is 4 years old now but damn, just bought the kw1, sc1, am5, and m1/m2 for a total of 95 bucks
Time to build a moat around the house!
This is why I live in Florida....alligators! Ain't found a pick for one of those yet...
@@DanBowkley
can you ship a few up to Georgetown, Canada??!!:)
Or upgrade your locks to mul-t-lock or medeco
Damn, time to change the locks (again)
I love mine after 2 practice runs got in my front door 25 seconds
Powerful tool !!!
$120???? The car lishi tools are running about $30 average. I'll wait until the price drops drastically lol
This for sure is something to win :O
It's a race. As techniques for picking locks get better. The more advances lock makers will have to make. This rivalry will be good for advancement.
A version for the M1 keyway would be a nice easy way to generate keys for masterlocks with no key. I see lots of them at fleamarkets and similar sales and many have no key.
"I think these things should probably be regulated."
I'll take 'Things Communists Say' for $1,000, Alex.
This tool is great. If you have a good code machine you can have a 5 pin lock picked and have a functioning key cut in less than two minutes. Spool pins will slow that down a little bit. I have put mine in two SmartKey locks and have picked both of them. They take much longer to figure out since you are essentially hunting for gates instead of a gap between pins. I think both of these locks were manufactured prior to KwikSet's current version, so there is more testing to be done. FYI- If you get a SmartKey picked, it does decode.
Well, switched the key on one of the locks and I can't pick it. Going to keep playing with it. I've had it in several copy cats and also in Weisers and it works good. The Weiser would be a bit of a guessing game to decode.
@@advantagephc you dont need a machine. i use key cutting pliers.
BB, have you used this with kwikset smart key locks?
Thats what i want to know.
@@stonercentral7989 doesnt work with smartkeys, or maybe by coincidence, since they have a sidebar with notches the pins have to enter in. For Smartkey use the smart decoder.
@@Magicspirit11 what's the smart decoder?
I thought SE Lockpicking had luck with this and the smart Lock.
It works with generations 1, 2, & 3 of the kwikset smart locks. It does not work on generation 4.
Pretty sweet little tool! Not that it wouldn't be fun to use, but definitely takes alot of the challenge out of picking. Agree on the regulation comment, as it seems geared more towards the locksmith crowd, the folks who do it to make their living, as opposed to us hobbyists. Thanks for the video Bill!
Hi! Does the Lishi KW1 also work for a cheap Euro cylinder of the brand "Basi"?
Lol, just like years ago!!!!! I was young then and knew the entire industry of all of everything was bullshit! Went threw all the challenges and back to knowing what was worth while to listen to and what wasn't! Your video and tool set makes sence!!!! Was awesome then, still awesome now within 2022 and I was looking at this a very long time ago early 2000's maybe? Yes safety first, legal as in wanting the cows to go home!
I like they started pin Tumbler locks
Looks like a well made tool.
I gave my six year old a 10 second lesson on tension and s.p.p. and he had a kwikset deadbolt open in under a minute. He got it again within the next few minutes, so I'm sure it wasn't a fluke...
With a standard pick.
What an amazing tool
the tool would really only be useful if you intend make a key and repeatedly come back or if as a locksmith you are getting a customer back into their house in witch the key got lost to.
of course as a responsible locksmith you would ask the customer for multiple methods id verification because there are scammers out there and then suggest for the customer to change or rekey their lock.
with how dangerously powerful that the tool is if it is not going to be restricted then make it so it will scratch up the pins in a way that lock forensics can verify tampering like bump keying and raking does
That particular tool is for KW1, but any plain pin tumbler cylinder without a seriously convoluted keyway is equally vulnerable to a tool of that type. Getting rid of all of 'em isn't practical.
If you note down the correct numeral (1-5) of each pin. You can replicate the kwikset key. That is the "decoder" part of this tool.
Goes hand in hand with the Lishi Key Cutter tool. AND - this makes me wonder, how long before a similar tool is produced (if not already) for picking all the other brands, including MASTER LOCK!!! Here we go: "The Master Lock Universal Pick." Oh wait, they already have that - it's called a Zip Tie.
Schlage SC1 and SC4 are in production. I got my KW1 a couple of days ago. It's crazy how fast you can pick, decode, and make a key.
Dayummmmm
For a locksmith (or a cat-burglar) that thing would pay for itself in short order.
Too bad it seems a bit flimsy, you’d need to baby it to get a long life out of it.
I wouldnt buy one. I'm trained to pick, decode and rekey locks for a reason, I'd rather do it the old fashion way.
Stella the Locksmith someone with this tool wouldn’t need any training, just a case full of different tools for every lock they might encounter 😋
Then get a pry bar or a drill....
So many people don’t get that the counterfeit ones are way cheaper, like guys they’re counterfeit.
It’s not a big deal but think for a sec, the real ones aren’t cheap like that lol
Who cares they work all the same lol
Awesome tool thank for the review
Awesome video
BB please make a video on house locks that actually work. Jeessh... you might as well leave your door open.
They sell the complete set of 5 of these for less than $100 on wish and they work just as well pretty much
Cool toy!
I would love to have one for my fire department so we stop kicking down old lady's doors
As others have said, it's probably made for smartkey systems...
impressive.
Oh, yeah, if you've got the right tool for the keyway, those things are like magic wands. They do also work on serrated pins, btw, you just have to be gentle but firm. The trick is, you need exactly the right model, and it's not always easy to know your keyway, and like you said, they're not exactly cheap. Plus they don't actually make then for every keyway yet.
So far, I've bought an M1 (only fits Master No 3s), an AM5 (doesn't fit any of my locks), an SC1 (only fits my Sparrows cutaway locks - not an overly common keyway here) and a KW1 (fits one of my Lockwood Assa Abloys, but not the other, and my crappy, Chinese Disc padlock).
Can keyways be different for the the same model of lock in different countries? I swear, most Master locks in Australia don't have Master keyways. The No. 3s do, but none of the solid body locks, including the 140. Still got no idea. LW4 or 5, maybe?
I need one, but only when I need to pick 50 quick-sets for a job. I might save a minute per lock... XD
It's gorgeous!
i messed up when rekeying my kwikset smartkey, tried pick it myself and didn't get anywhere. ordered one of these, hope it'll do the trick for me.
Another TH-camr pointed out this is kinda pointless because kwikset is easy to pick already. This is a overly complicated way to beat easy lock.
BlackDolphin90 it is, and it isn’t... the point is that this allows any random person to do without developing the “feel” or for that matter the instinct for which pin is where. Bill picked that lock in a minute... but a review of the video footage or a few seconds decoding after turning the core would allow you to come back next time with a perfect key... that’s not something you get from raking or SPP...
@@jdownj I suppose you can do that if you are a thief, but a locksmith can do the same thing without and would agree this is not necessary but a convenient tool. I bet even though this tool decides it does not take into account the fact that pins wear down and need replacing if a lock is used and can give a call reading.
Personally I would have picks or a pick gun over this as there are far many more locks that can be opened and decoded without this.
This tool does not take into the account the harder kwikset locks just standard ones.
For a lazy thief this tool is perfect.
BlackDolphin90 that’s the point that I’m making. If this is being made and sold as a commercial product, some group of people who would conduct an illegal entry have one like it already, whether that is criminals, a foreign spy agency or whatever. The fact that a product exists, and makes it comically easy to both get in, and decode the lock to get in repeatedly, means that the KW1 keyway is well and truly broken. To me, a hobbyist, the purpose it serves is illustration. To a good locksmith, a waste of money, OR a way to go send the apprentice on the easy residential calls, you decide...
@@jdownj I completely agree with you when you say that the KW1 is broken. There are lot of locks and designs that in my opinion are outdated and obsolete due to power tools like a grinder and effective picking tools wether it be rakes or guns.
Some locks are just need to be discontinued as they don't offer real resistance and alot of kwikset locks are also made of shitty cast body's.
I hate crappy locks and don't like lock makers who exploit the uneducated by seeling them outdated locks and fake security.
Master lock is good at doing that....they make good locks but sell alot of shitty locks to maximize profits. Tough under fire from critism more like.
From a locksmiths prospective, the tool will be used to save time and produce a key without removing and breaking down the lock should the customer request that a current key for the lock be created.
Is it compatible with European pin tumbler locks?
Schlage is coming soon also
Wanted one of these for a while, had mine for a week and it’s the biggest disappointment ever!
Tried on 3 different Kwikset locks so far and it has failed to open a single one smh
$120 until you find a Chinese source and then it's a month wait and $8.00 delivered!! 😁 lol
Nope. These tools are expensive on eBay. And they only have the ones for car locks. It's cheaper through the local distributors.
@@two_tier_gary_rumain they're on wish app for cheap probably pieces of rubbish tho
@@itsmeneil7635 If they're cheap, then they must be rubbish.
What if the locks right against the door on the left? Can you reverse them for left and right hand doors or do you have to buy a left and right hand?
Same tool, just apply tension in the opposite direction. Just like picking.
Good afternoon friend, oops, I would like to receive one of these tools because I'm starting out and I don't have much income to invest, I'm a father, I have food priorities, there's very little left to invest, tools are expensive in our country Brazil, a big hug, God bless you always 🙌🙌
Well done
cool looking tool
Did I miss the decoding part?
I'd like to try this for myself to see if it can pick faster than just picking it. How long would it take you with a normal pick? Not sure yet if it's worth 120 bucks. If they are I can see them being regulated or banned. How they would stop the import I have no idea.
i’m hoping to get one someday
I just bought a lishi kw1 but I can't use it in any of the locks I have. Have I bought the wrong one as I live in the UK ? If I have then which one do I need to get ? Hope to hear from you soon
Schlage is available too
awesome tool
Isnt this a waste of money if there are locks/keys with 6 or 7 pins ? Or can I still use this one for that ?
I mean.... why not just get one that can handle 7 pins from the start ? It would also handle 6 and 5 pin locks, right ?
I remember when I bought the ultimate adversary practice kit I measured the pins, and although it was a Schlage keyway, I was dismayed to find that the driver pins were not standard Schlage sizes. So I could not use the driver pins with the included key, it came with it's own properly sized driver pins. Would doing something similar here mess with the decoding, using non standard sized driver pins? I know, it is worrying over stopping someone from copying the key when they already have gained access, just a thought experiment for me.
they have it for sc1 as well
These will work on my car if I lock my keys in?
Wow... Just wow... This would most definitely been amazing in DAME. Where was this Lishi fellow in `89?
IMAGINE!!!! Lishi MEDICO DECODER PIC!!!! Engineers at Medico 🤯
