After you get the first few numbers you need to go on instacode to convert the bitting number...you need two more cuts for the key to work on the ignition... all together its an 8 cutt.
when picking for the door, im alost trying to makea a key that will work in the ignition. i was told atleast 2 cuts would be missing from the door that would go to the ignition, what 2 cuts are those?
Thank you for that, those are very useful. I wish someone would come up with a way of changing the key blanks at the end to save a lot of money buying the different models. Hint, hint. LOL!!!!
might be a dumb question, you know when trying to figure out the last cuts for ignition and you are able to use the same key and cut it a couple of times using the dolphin, how would you do that? I get an error about wrong depth or something. I thought checking the 'secondary processing' is how you do it but i get the same error. It seems like its checking for an uncut blade.
I’ve watched plenty of videos of you using these lishis as a way to learn how to use them myself since I have just started my own locksmith business. My main question is how do you know when you’ve pushed a pin in too far? And many times I will be to the point to where it’s about to open (almost twisted in the keyhole the whole way) but can’t seem to find the one pin that needs to be picked
it just takes practice to develop the feel. a good thing to do is pick locks that you know the bitting on and you will know if you overset one and just pay attention to what that feels like.
The piece that swings out is for tension. The long flat one is a scale that shows you pin location and cut depth. The little lever in the middle is the pick and it marks the pin and cut depth on the scale. The real downside to these is you need one for each keyway you want to decode. $49 to $100 a pop roughly. EDIT: I missed the extra lever. Interesting!
I’m not sure why this one has two levers. Almost all car door locks have wafers on both sides but most of lishis only have one arm that has a pick on both sides of the tip so it can pick wafers up or down.
@@jmr the automotive ones are $39 to $49. I dont recall every seeing one more than that for auto. They turn a profit the first time you use it. I mostly use the motorcycle decoders. I can turn key out a key in 3-5 minutes without having to impression anything or pick gas caps and take locks apart and then progress the cuts for ignition. I also dont have to waste any blanks. They're well worth the money and I'd honestly pay $150 a piece for them if that was the going rate.
I just tried to lishi a 2013 f150 ignition because the door was deferent and I wasn't able to get the first two wafers to do anything they seemed dead so I wasn't able to lishi it could it be aftermarket?
What sound does it make when a wafer is picked and locked in cause I'm learning to use this I have used this to open my van but I can't do it constantly
Any tips on how I can pick the lock ? I'd appreciate it I'm training with a master locksmith but this is just extra side project I'm doing to learn this tool I just need a consistent and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong

I don't know why the Lishi decoder is so fascinating to me but I keep watching video after video. I love those things. Simple and effective.
I do to. They make parts of my job much easier.

I know. That is just door lock from the junk yard to practice picking with the Lishi.
Very cool pick and decoding!
thank you!
Thanks! did my first focus for a dealership today, this was very helpful

That was really good to see how that was done.
Really cool how you get the code then go make a key, That's got to be fun, cheers matey

Only way is put a blank key in key the machine index it then pause it and swap the blank for the key you previously cut.
@@BoredLockpicker that's what i thought..i guess you really need to be precise with the placement then.

How many different Lishi’s are there?
there's one for just about every vehicle keyway.
So the two levers on these Lishis are for up and down orientation? (no pun intended there)

@@BoredLockpicker I'd long wondered about that. Perhaps it's an older style. You did say this was an original one rather than the genuine one.

@@BoredLockpicker I definitely see where they would save you a lot of time. I don't understand why some people are so negative about them.

or it has a side bar.

when the wafer binds and you pick it it will be springy. it wont "lock"
@@BoredLockpicker okay yeah I'm trying to unlock the van I have done it 8 times but not consistent
