Prepare Lock For Lishi - Lishi Tips [01]

Before you start picking a lock with your lishi tool, it is always recommended that you properly prepare your lock. This will help reduce wear and tear, allow for efficient picking, and help prevent inaccurate readings.
Step 1: Clean lock with lubrication.
Step 2: Run a key blank in and out of lock to spread the lubrication, pulling it out regularly to wipe off dirt on paper towel.
Step 3: Pull lock tabs back and insert lishi tool.
Step 4: Check each and every space for correct springiness. Take a note of any space/wafer that seems to be sticky or just doesn't feel right.

You need to spray lubricant between the lock plug and core.
Many auto locks you will have to pick have never been opened by the key so will be seized.
I attended on car and picked the lock several times I thought but the plug would not rotate
and it had seized up. Plenty of WD40 needed to free up plug

Real world picking is definitely different than on the bench. Usually way more dirt is in door locks and the wafers are less reactive unlike the brand great

@@CaptainLockPick yeah man no amount of bench practice could have prepared me for my first mission. Had a Johnston 313 tumbler to pick at the homeless shelter I had to get into to give out free blow jobs. The dirt in the lock was only half the problem the staff tried to kick me out I had to beat half them unconscious before I could get back to work. Anyway big thumbs up love the video I'm rock hard bro

Do you have to spray with lock houdini or can you use something like WD 40?

[@joycebidali5098]

Can a lock be picked when a wafer is damaged, or probably with a missing wafer?

[@luke-zc7yi]

wait, you didn't show it unlocking?!

So what to do if the lishi tool is not springy?

[@CaptainLockPick]

If it is not springy, that means it is ready to be picked.

I still don't see any keys being cut from the numbers the Lishi 'decoder' indicated. Actions speak louder than words.
