1. What are Lishi 2-in-1 Tools?

• Opens most locks in 30-60 seconds without damage
• Reads exact key depths directly from the lock
• Eliminates the need for separate picking and decoding tools
• Essential for emergency lockouts and automotive key replacement

2. Step-by-Step Usage Instructions

Step 1: Select the Correct Tool

Step 2: Prepare the Lock

• Clean the keyway with electronic cleaner to remove dirt and debris
• Lightly lubricate with silicone spray (never use oil-based lubricants)
• Exercise the lock with a key blank if possible

Step 3: Insert the Tool

• Fully retract the lifter arm
• Gently slide the tool into the keyway until it bottoms out
• Do not force the tool – it should slide in smoothly

Step 4: Apply Tension

• Use the built-in tension handle to apply light, consistent pressure in the unlocking direction
• Over-tensioning is the #1 cause of tool damage
• Maintain steady tension throughout the process

Step 5: Pick the Lock

• Move the lifter arm to each pin position sequentially
• Gently lift each pin until you feel a "click"
• Work from back to front or front to back depending on the lock type
• Repeat until all pins are set and the cylinder turns

Step 6: Decode the Key (Critical Step)

• Hold the cylinder in the open position
• Push each lifter arm all the way in
• Read the depth number indicated by the pointer
• Record the bitting code from left to right
• Use this code to cut a new key directly

Step 7: Remove the Tool

• Release tension on the handle
• Rotate the tool back to neutral position
• Slowly withdraw from the keyway

3. Important Safety & Maintenance Precautions

1. Never use excessive force
   • Forcing the tool will bend the delicate picking tip
   • If you encounter resistance, stop and verify you have the correct tool
2. Do not use on damaged or rusty locks
   • Corroded pins can break the tool's mechanism
   • Use penetrating oil first or choose alternative methods
3. Proper maintenance
   • Clean after each use with a microfiber cloth
   • Apply light machine oil to moving parts monthly
   • Store in a protective case to prevent damage
   • Avoid dropping the tool – calibration cannot be repaired
4. Legal compliance
   • Only use on locks you own or have explicit permission to open
   • Unauthorized lock picking is illegal in most countries
5. Counterfeit warning
   • All our tools come with original anti-counterfeit labels
   • Counterfeit tools have poor tolerances and break easily
   • Verify authenticity by scanning the QR code on packaging

4. Common Mistakes to Avoid

5. Troubleshooting Guide

Problem: Lock won't open after picking all pins

• Solution: Release tension slightly and recheck each pin. One pin is likely over-set or under-set.

Problem: Pointer doesn't move smoothly

• Solution: Clean the tool and apply a small amount of lubricant to the lifter arm.

Problem: Tool won't insert fully

• Solution: Check for debris in the keyway or verify you have the correct tool model.
