  • Is the New KW1 Lishi Tool A Game Changer? Let’s Find Out!
    Link To Subscribe➜ www.youtube.co...
    Lishi tools are historically utilized in the automotive industry and NOW they are starting to appear in the residential / commercial lock market in the form of the Kwikset (KW1) and Schlage (SC1) keyways. These are two of the most common residential locks that one can find in North American. What is so special about the Lishi 2-in-one Pick and Decoder is it has the ability to have a true novice learn how to pick open a lock very quickly.
    How does this become a potential game changer?
    1. Novices can learn to pick open a lock quickly.
    2. Where this tool really stands out is it can be used to decode a picked lock IN SECONDS.
    .
    What are the potential implications?
    This makes it so someone could potentially pick, decode, and code cut a key in minutes. This could be done for a happy customer or for more insidious reasons. This tool does impact the potential security of two of the most common residential locks.
    Fail-Safes
    1. Lock smiths won’t typically cut a code cut key for someone they do not know or someone that can not reasonably show ownership of the lock.
    2. This tool can only be currently purchased by lock smiths
    3. Most unauthorized entry comes from destructive entry and not through lock picking. As nice as it looks in the movies picking a real lock takes time and patience and is much more difficult in a “field setting” vs a “lab setting.”

    It's a cool idea but not a game changer IMO. You still have to pick the lock...so tension it, overcome spools etc. It makes it easier I guess. It won't work on many keyways too, ones that have paracentricity. The decoding aspect is cool.

    • @HelpfulLockPicker
      @HelpfulLockPicker  5 років тому +5

      The decoding aspect is the more important part because of the fact in the United States Kwikset and Schlage is used on the vast majority of residential locks.
      Obviously in the right hands with someone with the knowledge it can be a very powerful tool but to the average person it will not be too helpful.
      I just find it interesting how much power does come with it to someone that knows how to use it

    You can get (or build) a cheap 3d printer and then start using Thingiverse customizer (or OpenSCAD) to make Schlage and Kwikset keys. That will get you a key that can be used quite a few times until the plastic fatigues (and you print another one).

    It’s a great tool. But honestly most thieves could never afford one nor would use one when it’s so much quicker to use other means. I don’t consider it a security risk either otherwise they’d be using these more often with cars since they’ve been around forever. Thieves in my area are mostly opportunists. When they go near a door whether it be a car or standard door, they’ll check it. If a doors locked they move on to the next door. They usually don’t spend too much time at a door they can’t open quickly. And this tool even if it works good can still take some time to use. Locks usually don’t open that fast when they’re on the door and your in a hurry😂😂😂. This is all jmo. I’m a locksmith and I bought this tool because I pick up a lot of new locks at our habitat for humanity that are missing keys but still new and I sell at a discount or use as “fill-a-holes” and this is quicker to use to decode than disassembly.

    • @HelpfulLockPicker

      I personally agree that if someone is going to want to get in they are going to get in and they are likely going to use destructive entry because that is the easiest way and most reliable. I do highly enjoy the decoding aspect from the fact that you don't need to take the lock apart and it just saves a bunch of time and aggravation.

      Just think about the time you can save from taking off the lock, picking or shimming it to replace the key if a rekey isnt necessary tho its very cool

      Get the SC4...that’s the 6pin and you can use it for 5pin (SC1) as well....I wouldn’t bother with the kwikset, but the Schlage is a really good tool, the tolerance on Schlage is much tighter and this tool can pick one in minutes

      @Kissalude No...you're wrong. You only have to worry about the nerds who love buying expensive locksmith toys to make videos to teach the thieves.

    I don't think it is a game changer simply because it is too expensive. I see this tool costs 120 dollars where as other lishi tools for cars are closer to the 40 dollar mark. Now to make someone a car key you can easily charge over a hundred dollars, so it is definitely worth buying those tools. this KW1 lishi tool wouldn't really help you out all that much unless a customer lost all their keys and wants a key fitted, but at this point they might just want everything rekeyd anyways.

      I think once the price comes down (Chinese manufacture makes a clone) it will have a much bigger impact. They are really cool tools and thanks for sharing your thoughts!

    Best way to overcome this is to use a good lock not the usual kwickset or schlage crap.

    • @HelpfulLockPicker

      That is a fair but I still find these tools to be really interesting because when you look at the larger picture most residential locks in the US are KW1 and SC1 and the fact that you could pick (whatever means you choose) and decode the lock with this tool and quickly code cut or hand file a key has some large implications for both locksmiths and anyone else who can watch a basic tutorial online.

    Criminals don't care about your lock, if they can't pick it with a screwdriver, a sledgehammer or crowbar works too.

    What person who owns this tool is going to go to a locksmith? If this individual has the skill to use it, they certainly have the skill to make their own key. I'm just stating the obvious.

    Thank you for the video.I had no choice but to give you a thumbs down because in my opinion you are fear mongering.First of all in order to be able to cut a key by code you need a code cutting key machine and you must know what you are doing because different lock manufacturers use different bittings and spacings.Secondly a good code cutting key machine will cost anywhere from $2,500.00 and up plus the cost for the different cutters that the code cutting key machine will require for the different lock brands.As a licensed locksmith I never and I mean never code cut any keys for anyone without the person presenting a photo identification card to me and what I do when asked by anyone to code cut any keys is to write down the name and address of the person requesting a code cut key and I keep that information in case law enforcement ever requires that I give that information so it's not as simple as you make it out to be.I will not say that there are no dishonest locksmiths but those are few and far between.I have been a licensed locksmith for quite some time now and I have spent a lot of time and money on tools and key machines to become a proficient locksmith and I can tell you that unless it's the CIA,FBI or any other secret service agency no person in their right mind is going to spend so much money and time on tools,key machines and studying just to commit felonies and end up behind bars for code cutting keys for unauthorized people.I will not ever open any lock for anyone that does not present me with a valid photo identification with the address as to where said locks need to b e opened and anyone who tries to give me a hard time about that will end up being introduced to the chief of police which I happen to know personally.Lock picking is not as straight forward and as easy as you make it out to be in this video and what's more who other than a licensed locksmith is ever going to stand at a person's front door picking any lock open?It took me the better part of more than six years before I started becoming proficient at lock picking,stoop watching so many bullshit hollywood movies and believing everything you see and hear in those bullshit movies because there is much much more to lock picking than just having lock picks and lock tools,locks don't magically open when you insert lock picks into the locks like what is portrayed in bullshit hollywood movies.Even with the best lock picks and lock tools locks take time to pick open.I had to pass a background check in order to get my locksmith license and every two years when my locksmith license comes up for renewal I must back a background check otherwise no locksmith license,do you honestly believe that any self respecting locksmith is going to violate the law and the public trust just like that by code cutting keys for anyone without requiring proper photo identification and keeping a record of people who ask for code cut keys?Because if you believe that there's a bridge in Brooklyn NY that somebody may be interesting in selling you.
