Lishi Tools, Picks & Decoders

Shop Original Lishi tools for automotive, residential, commercial, padlock, and mailbox lock applications at Noble Key Supply. This collection includes keyway-specific 2-in-1 picks and decoders, along with protective storage cases for professional locksmith equipment.

Lishi tools combine lock picking and decoding functions in one precision instrument. Each tool is designed for a particular keyway or lock configuration, allowing trained locksmiths to service compatible locks efficiently and with minimal disruption.

With automotive and standard Lishi tools available for numerous manufacturers and key systems, verifying the exact application before ordering is essential.

What Is a Lishi Tool?

A Lishi tool is an application-specific lock pick and decoder. Its shape corresponds with a particular keyway, while its calibrated markings help a trained technician identify the positions and depths inside a compatible lock.

A 2-in-1 tool can support two related locksmith tasks:

• Manipulating a compatible lock during authorized service
• Decoding the lock to help originate a replacement key

Unlike a general-purpose lock pick, a Lishi tool is not designed to work across unrelated keyways. The keyway, number of positions, lock type, and tool generation must match the application.

Original Lishi 2-in-1 Tools

Noble Key Supply carries Original Lishi products for professional locksmiths. Original tools are manufactured for specific lock systems and include calibrated markings appropriate to their intended applications.

Depending on the model, features may include:

• Pick and decoder functions
• Clearly marked positions and depths
• Anti-glare finish
• Automotive or standard keyway design
• Door, ignition, or trunk compatibility
• Keyway-specific profile
• Eight-cut or ten-cut configuration
• Application-specific handling features

Review the complete model designation rather than selecting a tool based only on its appearance.

Automotive Lishi Tools

Automotive Lishi tools are designed for specific vehicle lock systems. They can assist trained automotive locksmiths with authorized lockout, decoding, diagnostic, and all-keys-lost services.

Available tools may support compatible vehicles from manufacturers such as:

• Ford and Lincoln
• Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac
• Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram
• Honda and Acura
• Toyota, Lexus, and Scion
• Nissan and Infiniti
• Hyundai and Kia
• Volkswagen and Audi
• BMW and MINI
• Mazda
• Subaru
• Mitsubishi
• Volvo
• Fiat
• Jaguar and Land Rover

Vehicle make alone does not determine the correct tool. Manufacturers frequently use multiple keyways across different models, years, and production markets.

Ford Lishi Tools

Ford and Lincoln vehicles have used several mechanical key systems. Original Lishi options may include tools for FO38, HU101, HU198, and other compatible profiles.

The FO38 tool is associated with select Ford eight-cut applications using an H75-style key blank. HU101 and HU198 tools apply to different high-security key systems and vehicle generations.

Some HU101 tools are available in revised configurations intended to improve access around particular door-handle designs. Confirm the keyway, vehicle year, lock position, and tool version before ordering.

GM Lishi Tools

Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, and other GM vehicles may use HU100, B111, B106, and additional application-specific keyways.

HU100 tools can be available in eight-cut and ten-cut versions. These variations are not interchangeable because they correspond with different lock configurations.

B111 tools may be associated with GM Z-keyway applications. Verify whether the vehicle uses the applicable warded design and whether the tool is intended for the door, trunk, ignition, or multiple lock positions.

Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram Lishi Tools

CY24 is a common Lishi reference for select Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram mechanical locks. It may correspond with Y157 or Y159 key blanks and particular eight-cut lock systems.

Not every Stellantis vehicle uses CY24. Newer and imported platforms may use other profiles, so confirm the exact blade and vehicle application before purchasing.

Honda and Acura Lishi Tools

Many compatible Honda and Acura vehicles use the HON66 four-track key system. Original Lishi HON66 tools may support the ignition, door, trunk, or a combination of these lock positions.

HON66 is commonly associated with the HO01 key-blank family, but application details should still be checked by vehicle. Honda and Acura have used several mechanical key designs across different generations.

Nissan and Infiniti Lishi Tools

NSN14 tools are used with select Nissan and Infiniti ten-cut applications. Related key references may include DA34, SUB1, or X237, depending on the vehicle and supplier data.

Some NSN14 tools are intended for door and trunk locks rather than every lock position. Verify the product description and vehicle system before ordering.

Volkswagen and Audi Lishi Tools

Many Volkswagen and Audi vehicles use HU66-based mechanical key systems. Different generations and lock configurations may require different Lishi versions.

A tool that matches an HU66 blade does not automatically support every Volkswagen or Audi lock. Confirm the vehicle year, lock position, cut count, and product application notes.

Toyota and Lexus Lishi Tools

Toyota and Lexus vehicles use several mechanical keyways, including edge-cut and high-security track systems. Available Lishi products may correspond with applications such as TOY43, TOY48, and TOY2-Track.

These profiles represent different key and lock designs. Match the tool to the original blade and code series whenever possible.

Automotive Door, Ignition, and Trunk Applications

A Lishi tool may be listed for:

• Door only
• Door and trunk
• Ignition only
• Ignition, door, and trunk
• Another application-specific lock position

Do not assume that a tool fitting the door also fits the ignition. Manufacturers can use different wafer counts, depths, or lock designs within the same vehicle.

Replacement locks can further complicate identification. Inspect the actual keyway and compare it with reliable application data.

Eight-Cut and Ten-Cut Configurations

Some automotive keyways are offered in multiple cut configurations. HU100, for example, may appear in eight-cut and ten-cut versions.

The number of cuts affects the tool’s spacing and calibrated positions. Selecting the incorrect version can prevent the tool from aligning with the lock.

Confirm:

1. Vehicle year and model
2. Mechanical keyway
3. Number of cuts
4. Original key blank
5. Lock position
6. Tool version

These details are particularly important for vehicles produced during a transition between key systems.

Standard Lishi Tools

The collection also includes Original Lishi tools for residential, commercial, padlock, and mailbox applications. Standard tools bring keyway-specific picking and decoding capabilities to common pin-tumbler and specialty locks.

Available applications may include:

• Schlage SC1
• Schlage SC4
• Schlage L keyways
• Kwikset KW1
• Master Lock M1 and MS2
• National CompX mailbox locks
• Other supported standard key systems

Standard Lishi tools are not universal. Match the complete keyway and pin configuration with the lock being serviced.

Schlage Lishi Tools

Schlage locks are common in residential and commercial buildings. Original Lishi tools are available for several Schlage keyways, including SC1, SC4, and SC20 applications.

SC1 and SC4 use related profiles but correspond with different key lengths and pin counts. SC20 may be associated with compatible Schlage L-keyway applications.

Identify the complete blank reference and number of pins before selecting a Schlage Lishi.

Kwikset KW1 Lishi Tools

KW1 is widely used in compatible residential knobs, levers, and deadbolts. An Original Lishi KW1 tool is designed specifically for the corresponding keyway and pin spacing.

Other key profiles can resemble KW1, so visual similarity alone should not be used to confirm compatibility. Compare the original key blank or cylinder identification.

Master Lock Lishi Tools

Select Master Lock padlocks use M1 or MS2 key blanks. A compatible Original Lishi tool can provide picking and decoding functions for supported padlock cylinders.

Master Lock produces many lock and keyway designs. Confirm the padlock model, key blank, pin count, and listed application rather than ordering solely by brand.

National CompX Mailbox Tools

Original Lishi tools are available for select National CompX mailbox-lock applications. References represented in the collection include:

• 1646
• 1646R
• C9200
• C8700
• 1069L

Left- and right-oriented mailbox keyways may require different tools. A 1646 and 1646R should not be assumed to work interchangeably.

Anti-Glare Finish

Many Original Lishi tools in the collection feature an anti-glare finish. This surface treatment can make the printed or etched markings easier to read under bright shop lighting or outdoor conditions.

Readable markings are important when interpreting positions and depths. Keep the scale clean and avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the finish.

Lishi Storage Cases

Lishi tools contain precision working components that should be protected during storage and transportation. Dedicated cases help organize tools by keyway and reduce the chance of bending or damaging their tips.

Available storage options may include magnetic cases capable of holding multiple Lishi tools. Review the listing carefully because cases are generally sold without the tools shown in demonstration images.

A storage system can help technicians:

• Organize tools by manufacturer or keyway
• Find the required tool more quickly
• Protect calibrated components
• Prevent tools from moving inside a service vehicle
• Track missing or misplaced equipment
• Separate automotive and standard tools

Selecting the Correct Lishi Tool

Before purchasing an Original Lishi tool, verify:

1. Vehicle or lock manufacturer
2. Vehicle year, make, and model
3. Mechanical keyway
4. Key-blank or test-key reference
5. Number of wafers or pins
6. Number of cuts
7. Edge-cut or high-security design
8. Door, ignition, or trunk application
9. Left- or right-oriented keyway
10. Tool generation or revision
11. Regional vehicle specifications
12. Replacement-lock history

A year, make, and model search is a helpful starting point, but the physical keyway should be checked whenever possible.

Lishi Tools for All-Keys-Lost Work

During an authorized all-keys-lost service, a compatible Lishi tool can help a trained locksmith decode the mechanical lock. The resulting information may assist with originating a replacement blade using a professional key machine and verified code data.

Mechanical decoding is only one part of modern automotive key replacement. A transponder, remote key, or proximity key may also require electronic programming before it can start the vehicle.

Confirm the mechanical and electronic requirements before beginning the job.

Caring for Lishi Picks and Decoders

Proper storage and handling help preserve the alignment and readability of precision tools.

Recommended care includes:

• Keeping each tool clean and dry
• Removing lock debris after use
• Storing tools in a fitted case
• Avoiding excessive bending or twisting
• Inspecting working components regularly
• Protecting the calibrated markings
• Keeping heavy equipment away from tool tips
• Replacing damaged tools promptly

Do not force a tool into a keyway. Resistance may indicate incorrect identification, debris, lock damage, or an incompatible tool.

Professional Training and Practice

Lishi tools require training, patience, and familiarity with compatible lock systems. Professionals should practice on legally owned training locks before using a new tool during customer service.

Understanding keyway identification, position spacing, depth readings, key-code data, and key-machine setup contributes to consistent results.

A correctly matched tool can support efficient work, but it does not replace professional judgment or vehicle-specific knowledge.

Lawful and Authorized Use

Lishi picks and decoders should only be used on vehicles and locks that you own or are legally authorized to service. Laws governing locksmith tools, licensing, possession, and transportation vary by jurisdiction.

Professional locksmiths should verify customer authorization, document the service, and comply with applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
