as a locksmith, you have saved my life lol. so many apartment lockouts use smartkey locks, and I end up having to drill them because I thought picking them was impossible.

[froggypicker]

Ok i have to say this is one of the first real useful lishi use I've seen. Makes perfect sense for locksmith and with the number of kw1 non smart on the market it can be used frequently.

Great tutorial!This Lishi is a miracle, because without it, dealing with lockouts involving Smartkeys can be a pain in the ass.

[robcampbell]

Never thought of using the Lishi Tool like this. Very clever. Thanks for the vid.

Best tutorial I have ever seen on YouTube on how to use these I been trying to hard to learn how to use them 😅

[Alistair-gibx]

Definitely going to buying one now, I work maintenance and have had to drill out several locks. You explain using the tool clearly and concise.

[Rymor]

That's amazing!! I read a Master Locksmith can make a key without an actual key and had no clue that's how it can be done!!! In awe!! 😮

[jeffreybone]

Awesomeness! Thank you for the education. Can't wait to try it.

Super cool man thanks for showing me how to do this I would’ve never dreamed

I just watched the video for the second time before going on a Kwikset Smart Key Lever Keypad lockout. I found that 4 of the 5 chambers I could not get the pick/needle (on the KW5 Lishi Pick) to move past cut 6 (with no tension) so I could try the next number depth in the sequence. I had to force the pick to the next number depth, then it was loose on most numbers after. I had to revert back to drilling the cylinder out. Do you know what that means when I cant get the needle/pick to easily move to the next number depth in the sequence? Thanks for your time.

I was just considering buying a the expensive reader now I’ll get the lishi. The Schlage tool works great.

[JasonMeeks]

I like to be a handy person. So I have a few of these tools on order to help others out if accidentally locked out.

[TheKeymaster]

Have you tried this method with the Schlage secure key system?? I'll have to try that. Great work!!

[ThomKatFlyer]

My KW1 is too wide to fit the key way. Please explain how yours fits the smart key lock.

[BrantleyIAQ]

Thanks! If you’re trying to simply open it and not decode it, do you use a similar technique? I can’t seem to open smart key locks

[albertguzman]

Which lishi tool do I buy for chateau cylinder locks for storage locker having trouble finding anything explaining

[leemarshall]

hi how do you know what pick does what lock has i see alot of differant ones

[johnwickpick]

After decoding the depths using this method, could you start again using constant turning pressure to pick the lock now knowing where to place each click on tool?

[feyrrari]

Will this work on a 2018 smart for two 453?

[MarinaDAllessandro]

Will this method work to decode all other cylinders or just this
