# About Lockpicked — Authorized Mr. Li Lishi Retailer

> Lockpicked is an authorized retailer of Original Mr. Li Lishi tools. Factory-direct pricing, full catalog access, and verified authenticity on every order.

Lockpicked exists because the US market for professional Lishi tools has a persistent problem: domestic distributors carry limited inventory, charge significant markups, and are often staffed by people who have never used the tools they sell. Lockpicked is built differently. As an authorized distributor of authentic Original Mr. Li Lishi tools, Lockpicked gives you direct access to the full factory catalog at factory-direct pricing — and when you have a technical question, you are talking to people who actually use these tools in the field.

## What Lockpicked Sells

Lockpicked specializes exclusively in genuine 2-in-1 picks and decoders manufactured by Mr. Li Zhiqin at his factory in Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, China. Every tool in the catalog carries Mr. Li's trademarked face logo etched into the metal and ships with an orange scratch-off anti-counterfeit verification sticker so you can confirm authenticity at [lizhiqintool.com](https://www.lizhiqintool.com) the moment your order arrives.

<Note>
  Lockpicked stocks **Original Mr. Li** tools — identified by the orange verification label and the Mr. Li face logo. This is a distinct product line from the **Genuine Lishi** brand distributed by Tradelocks in the UK. If you are specifically looking for the UK Genuine Lishi line (Night Vision, T3 series), that is a separate licensed product not carried here.

## The Catalog

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Automotive tools" icon="car">
    120+ tools covering the full range of passenger vehicle keyways. From the HU66 for Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat to the HON66 for Honda, HU101 for Ford and Volvo, HU100 for GM and Cadillac, and HU92 for BMW — if it has a disc or wafer tumbler lock, there is a Lishi tool for it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Motorbike tools" icon="bicycle">
    26 tools for motorcycle keyways. The same 2-in-1 pick-and-decode logic as the automotive line, purpose-built for the tighter tolerances of motorbike cylinders.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Residential tools" icon="house">
    24 tools for household locks. Includes the KW1 and KW5 for Kwikset and the SC1 and SC4 for Schlage — essential for locksmiths who handle both automotive and residential calls.

    7 supporting items including protective carrying cases and practice cylinders. Everything you need to store your tools properly and train without burning through customer cylinders.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Factory-Direct Pricing

Buying through domestic US distributors typically adds a 30–40% markup over factory pricing. Lockpicked sources directly from Mr. Li's factory, which means you get that markup back in your pocket on every order.

  </Card>

  <Card title="Anti-counterfeit included" icon="shield-check">
    Every tool ships with its orange verification sticker intact. You are never left guessing whether what you received is genuine.

## The Lockpicked Difference

A lot of online storefronts can list Lishi tools. What they cannot offer is what Lockpicked brings as an authorized distributor:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Authorized distributor status">
    Lockpicked is an authorized channel for Mr. Li's tools, which means the supply chain is direct and verified. You are not buying through a grey-market reseller who sourced tools from an unknown intermediary.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="After-sales technical support">
    The team at Lockpicked knows how to use these tools. If you have a question about technique — which tool to use for a specific vehicle, how to approach a stubborn wafer, how to read the decode on an unfamiliar keyway — you can get a real answer, not a generic response.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Authenticity guarantee">
    Every tool comes with Mr. Li's orange verification sticker. If you ever have a doubt about what you received, you can verify the code at lizhiqintool.com. Lockpicked does not ship tools without this verification intact.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Tool selection guidance">
    Not sure which tool covers your most common vehicles? The Lockpicked team can help you build a kit that matches your actual workload rather than guessing from a catalog list. Reach out via the contact form before you order.

## Understanding the Lishi Brand Landscape

The word "Lishi" appears on tools from multiple manufacturers and distributors, which causes genuine confusion when you are trying to buy. Here is what you need to know:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Original Mr. Li (Orange Label)" icon="check-circle">
    Tools made directly by the inventor, Mr. Li Zhiqin, at his factory in Qinhuangdao. Identified by the Mr. Li face logo and the orange anti-counterfeit sticker. Verified at lizhiqintool.com. **This is what Lockpicked sells.**
  </Card>

  <Card title="Original Lishi (Red Label)" icon="check-circle">
    Also manufactured by Mr. Li in the same factory. Distributed under the "Original Lishi" brand name by an Australian-based distributor. Identified by the Mr. Li face logo and a red verification label. Verified at originallishi.com.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Genuine Lishi (UK line)" icon="info-circle">
    A separately licensed line distributed by Tradelocks in the UK. Uses different branding (square "Genuine Lishi" logo). Features the Night Vision glow grid and T3 durability series. **Not stocked by Lockpicked.**
  </Card>

  <Card title="Counterfeit clones" icon="ban">
    Low-cost imitations with no face logo, no verification sticker, and manufacturing tolerances far below Mr. Li's 0.01mm standard. Common on unvetted marketplace listings. Avoid any tool priced below \$15–20 USD.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Warning>
  If a listing does not show the Mr. Li face logo and does not mention a verification sticker, assume it is a clone. A counterfeit tool can snap inside a customer's cylinder or produce incorrect bitting readings that waste key blanks — and in neither case will you have any recourse.
</Warning>
