(1554) Review: Lishi Pick for American AM3, AM5 & AM7
In video 1554 I review the new Lishi lock pick designed to fit into the AM3, AM5 and AM7 keyways, commonly found on American padlocks and others. In the video I describe the pick, demonstrate how it works, and show how to decode a lock after picking it.

Thanks for the tip on tensioning, I was struggling but holding it the way you described helped me figure this tool out. Thanks!
Im still new to lockpicking, that pick totally provided a great visual aid

What a great teaching tool for a novice to learn how security pins and pin depths work. Love the visual aid that's printed on it.
That was really interesting from a beginner’s point of view. Having the cut markings at the back there & being able to operate it with your finger tip gives a really cool perspective of how you’re moving your pick & what’s going on inside the lock while you’re picking, which isn’t so easy to see with standard pin tumbler picks. Thanks Bill!
I know you channel is teaching me when I’m yelling 2! When you were bouncing back between 1 and 3. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos! Great explanations. Thumbs up to you sir
Love your videos Bill! With the lishi use your middle finger to adjust counter rotation and a it works like a treat! Great tools. I’m a locksmith sad sac that thinks these should be restricted because of ease of use. Taught my GF to open my front door in 5 minutes with this. Lovely tools! Locky from Australia Love your work.
This video really gave me a very good idea on what you really "feel" when you're picking a lock and what happens when e.g. hitting a spool. Thanks!
That is easily the coolest and most useful pick design ive seen in a minute

I wouldn't use it for work, but something to play around with its pretty cool
Very nice demo showing fineness and delicacy needed to pick serrated and spool pins. Thank for sharing Mr. Bill...
I have been using these for years on vehicles and to help you may get better tension control by using the swing out arm as it’s designed for that and allows pressure to be adjusted really easily.
This is the most visual lockpicking video I've seen, they're always interesting though, it's nice to see some of what's going on.
I've never seen one of those before, very educational and entertaining as usual! Thank you very much sir.
I remembered seeing these somewhere but could never remember where, these would be great for learning your pick depth (I think). great video as always.
Thanks for the very easy to follow demonstration. I see why people get excited about the Lishi now.
Bill... this was really excellent Video.. but I really would have loved seeing you creating and testing a new key for the lock.
@Patrick Forrestall. I was thinking the same thing. Only I have been a bad lock picker for about 40 years lol. This was hugely helpful to visualize what Bill was doing. I hope you do some more of these.
Drawing entered... fingers crossed! Thanks Bill for a chance at this one, awesome tool and video!
Made it super easy to see what you were doing and the feedback you were getting.
I like the design of that pick...you make it look so easy
Nicely done Bill, thanks for sharing.
That was too cool!! I was doing pretty good with my lock picking when I was holding the locks in my hand, but when I started using the vice to hold the lock to simulate the lock being in a door, the picking got really difficult and I basically had to go back to just the regular pins and take out all of the security pins. So I keep practicing. Lol.
Excellent review and tutorial, thanks!
I just got one of these and it's not as easy as it looks!!
Awesome little tool
This video doubles as a fantastic guide for how one should attack an American Lock core.
hi Bill hope you are well , i just got my first two lishi's and i noticed that the cases interlock with each other with the channels that are on the sides never seen anyone say anything about that i think it is cool
Great video! Miss you BB!
I love these tools
Agree with TheNotSoCivilEng delicate tool, but well thought out in design and manufacture👍
oh and thank you ill try ur tips next time im trying my am5 so far im not having any luck getting it to work but i have gotten my m1/m2 to work !
It would be interesting to see a key, cut to the specs the Lishi showed, open the lock.

It’s accurate. Least kwickset ones. I’ve rekeyed a lock a number of times knowing the pins in different orders testing how well it picks. But it decodes right on the money
These are great your Technic is different to mine but got the same end result
What a fascinating tool but the price tag.. Ouch! Nicely demonstrated BTW ;-)
That is a really good tool !
You make it look so damn easy!
Life getting easier one day at a time.
Great vid
Ready to win this one for sure !!!
Wow, that was awesome. Thanks, Bill!
Hope to see some challenge locks soon.
Lishi is awesome quality :)
Would love Australian ones. Lockwood Gainsborough
Inspiring yet again Bill. If I don't win the draw I will probably buy one, thanks for the link.
I don't pick a LOT of American padlocks (maybe one or two a year) but I just ordered this pick, based just on how easy the SC1 is to use. I picked up the SC1 Lishi a couple of months ago, I didn't think I'd use it except for the the F series levers with the top T pins (PITA)... The more I played with it though the more I love that tool... ESPECIALLY for the decoding without taking the lock apart. NOW if Lishi would only make an S22/LA (which should be easy enough from how it works) and picks for the Y1 and Y2 keyways (which might be too paracentric for the design, but a locksmith can hope, right?)
These Lishi picks seem soo easy to use in your hands, Bill. I really want to get a hold of one eventually and give it a shot, but ~$100 is pretty steep! lol

Bill, there's a serious problem with the Lishi picks for AM profiles. The top rail of the blade is too high and it lifts any #8 key pins. It also affects the #7 pins to some degree as well. See the BoredLockPicker's channel for a video where we worked this out.

I heard my boss talking about these might get one and try it out. Decoding a lock without taking the time to impression or gut could save time. Never mind, after watching the whole video I don't want one lol.
Awesome 👍
Those are neat pick tools. Are they also available for Abus and other common-in-Europe locks?
I bought the sc4 but I am still having issue with it I guess it's just all practice is needed😁
deviant ollam did a review on these, but yours was more in depth and informative. =)
Might be cheaper than the previous models as they believe they'll move more stock and/or have been able to reduce production costs with expanded production.
Hi Bill...Hope your well...I'm from the UK and can't find out if they fit Yale locks fitted to most UK locks ...Do you have any Yale lock you could try the sc4 on...Finding it very difficult to find any info....Many thanks for your time sir...
Nice
Good afternoon I purchased a kwl tool and I can it to turn the lock but it won't open the door. What am I doing wrong. Vince
Hey Bill, do to have any absolute beginner videos on SPP?? I've muddled my way thru a few cheap Chinese locks, a Master #3 and a few others raking, even my front deadbolt. But I've got this older American 1400 series I believe that I cannot make open and I cannot seem to get the right tension to even attempt SPP.. also first pin is a serrated keypin. The big issue even trying to rake it open is it has an insane spring in it. I've made a few wiper tensioners but I'm guessing I need a good set of top of keyway tensioners if I want to keep attempting SPP.. any input to get me started is greatly appreciated.. it's just a hobby so I don't want to break the bank. Maybe one day I'll actually win one of your weekly kits. I am getting one of the practice keyways you always show off soon just need a good vise as well. Thanks for all the great videos!!
Aliexpress has these on sale right now for like 10-12 bucks. Shipping is 8 dollars and will take 30+ days to arrive but it's like an 80 dollar discount if you're ok with waiting. I bought like 6 different ones 🤣
Was hoping you'd make a key with that info
Will this Lishi work on the Eagle Pad locks out of Terryville Con.
you running a CNC machine in the background?
wow, nice. did you cut a key? did it work?
Now I'm waiting for a medeco or a Primus tool lol
Great video, must say though, this pick is made by Mr Li a rival to lishi.
Did you have to sand and thin out the am5 for the 700 series American? Mine wouldn’t fit unless I did

Hmmm interesting. so; I guess it looks like future Locksmiths will indeed have access to a set of, Lishi 2-in-1 Pick/Decoders for all the major keyways at this rate... Wonder what's next? 🤔

With the ease of action, I'm thinking something like this could well be used as the basis for a completely automated robo-picker. Just slide it in and turn on, and the robo-picker does all the work of tensioning and picking, with highly sensitive sensors detecting the feedback and making very precise movements. I suspect this is doable with current tech, but It would probably be too expensive currently, but within a few years the tech might become affordable enough to be practical.

Lishi will only ever be for the wide open keyways. Try drawing up a tool like this for a paracentric or wavey keyway and you will realize it cannot work.
Would any of these Lishi-picks work in european locks? We don't have or use Schlage, Kwikset etc

The european key ways are not as open. However dimple picks are available, but lishi has not made them. I use lishi picks exclusively on cars. Many times I have picked the lock, yes they are all springy why isn't it open... Oh yes I just need to turn it. Picking tension and turning tension are two different things when using these types of tool.

Yes. The tensioner can be removed with a small allen wrench that is provided with each pick. It is removable and can swing around the other direction.
I wonder how hard it would be to reverse engineer this so that it works with other keyways.
Nice tool! It may help but you still need the skill to open the lock.
Hey, big fan from Germany here. Where do I know which Lichi tool is the right one if Im not in american style or car locks? :) There is no such thing as a product explaination what the difference between SC1 Schlage 5 Pin Lishi SC4 Schlage 6 Pin Lishi KW1 Kwikset 5 Pin Lishi AM5 America 5 Pin Padlock Lishi M1/MS2 Master 5 Pin Padlock Lishi exactly is as it seems to be almost all of them are for 5 pin locks? Cheers

Hi bill
The tool you showed is Original Lishi brand where as the thumbnail shows the "Genuine Lishi" brand. Original is still innovating new things like these pin tumbler picks while Genuine is a result of a falling out. It's a bit of a weird history.
Now you have decoded it how do make a key?
Hello or i can bought the te2?
Would the SC4 or KW5 absolutely not work for this?
is that your CNC running in the back ground ?
I just bought a lock pick on amazon... the picks broke on my lock. I looked on your website and it said don't buy buy off Amazon because they are cheap. You are 100% right. I have a quick question for my next set- what pick handle is good for feedback?

From 3:05, Bill discusses the need for the tab to be properly seated (allowing tension to be applied properly). With the shorter locks, this wouldn't be possible.
Thank you for the information. #Billingslocksmth
When I first started picking locks, my friend handed me an American that he didn't know I already had a key for and said, "Bet you can't get this" and he went back to doing whatever he was doing in the shop. Straight up snuck that key out after about 30 seconds and handed it back to him open. He still thinks I am some bad ass lock picking savant, I still think I do ok, but after watching you and LPL.... Ha, I suck.
I just had this idea: go to a escape room and beat it without using keys. Only lockpicking
