Lishi automotive tools are the professional standard for non-destructive entry and on-site key origination on car door and ignition locks. Each tool combines a pick and a decoder into a single precision instrument: you insert it into the lock, apply tension, and the reading pane tells you each wafer’s depth as you set it — so by the time the lock opens, you already have the bitting code needed to cut a replacement key. Every tool in this category is keyway-specific, meaning you must match the tool to the exact keyway used by the vehicle you are working on.
All Lishi tools sold on Lockpicked are authentic products from Mr. Li Zhiqin’s factory. Each tool ships with a verification sticker you can validate at lizhiqintool.com to confirm authenticity.

​
How to Identify the Right Tool for Your Vehicle

The most important step before purchasing is confirming the keyway, not just the make and model. Many manufacturers changed keyways across model years, and some platforms (such as GM) use multiple different keyways simultaneously.
1

Identify the make, model, and year

Note the exact vehicle — for example, “2014 Nissan Altima” rather than just “Nissan.”
2

Look up the keyway

Use the compatibility tables below to match your vehicle to the correct Lishi tool profile. If a vehicle appears under more than one tool, check the year range.
3

Check warded vs. non-warded

GM vehicles in particular require you to know whether the lock cylinder is warded (has a physical obstruction in the keyway). The B111/B106 (warded) and B106/GM37 (non-warded) are not interchangeable.
4

Order and verify

Add the correct tool to your cart at lockpicked.com/shop. Scratch the verification sticker on arrival to confirm the tool is genuine before using it on a customer vehicle.
