When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Hey folks! Is there an online reference that lists the locks each of the 102 "Lishi 2-in-1 tools" is compatible with? If so, please tell me where to find it.

Don't know if you got your answer, I have looked in the past, hoping for that crossover, last I knew, you say make and year, it will tell you the tool. Would be nice to see what Vehicles a particular tool could do. Will look back in hopes the answer IS here. Sure would be nice.

I have searched high and low also for a list of what residential brands every peticular Lishi abbreviated tool covers, and cannot find one. Even on the Lishi site, they have automotive lists, but I dont see residential. To clarify exactly what I mean, I (and I think a lot of us) are looking for a cross reference chart that will show a lock brand, and cross it over to which lishi tool works with that brand. For example, most people know that the "AM" series is made for certain model American padlocks. But when I see a lishi model # SS002, or LW5, it would be really handy to know what brand they go to specifically. Has anyone seen a chart that will tell me if I have a Yale lock, which Lishi tool will fit that keyway? I know some of the lishi abbreviations are simple, like SC is for Schlage, but some are not that simple and a chart would be great. If anyone has found one, please let us know. A link would also be very helpful, and app we eppreciated.

The SS001 and SS002 are NOT Lishi-made tools. They are a knock-off. Lishi put out a public message saying that those are not their work.
As for which residential lock models that work with which Lishi residential pick, it would be ridiculous to list every lock manufacturer and model which uses a Schlage C keyway. There would be tens of thousands. Add in Kwikset and their clones, Best clones, Lockwood clones, etcetera, and you would find the list would be larger than the Los Angeles phone directory.
5 pin Schlage C keyway, SC1. 6 pin Schlage C keyway, SC4. 6 pin Schlage L section - SC20. The L keyway fits a whole family of sections within Schlage keyways. But be aware that the L section is very thin and fragile. Even Schlage recommends that their L key blanks be factory cut.
Lishi also makes a pick for the S123/C123 Everest.
Residential picks that Lishi makes that I am aware of:
SC1 SC4 SC20 S123/C123 Best A kwy 6 pin Best A kwy 7 pin KW1 KW5 M1/MS2 AM3 AM5 LW5
There are no doubt others, but I also have had difficulty finding a listing of which residential picks they make.

Just when you finally think you have learned it all, that is when you learn that you don't know anything yet.

Thank you Gordon, I knew that there was a wide coverage for each popular brand including clones, but I didn't realize it was that extensive.
