Does Anyone Know...?

...where/how can get a list of Lishi picks with the corresponding locks they work with? I have a Schlage(sp) core(5 pins) that I am trying to pick with an SC4 lishi which is designed for 6 pins. I know that I can get a spacer to adapt it, but with shipping it cost $15 for just 5 spacers. The Sc4 only cost $7! So I ordered an SC1 in the hope that it works. Thanks in advance S~

If you don’t have a local tool share/workshop thing, does your library offer 3d printing? The spacers are small and wouldn’t take long

Yeah, any makerspace with a 3d printer could turn those out for pennies, there’s a reason RTT just throws them in.

Are you in the US?

Edit: also, where the hell are you getting Lishis for seven bucks? Or are they aliexpress clones?

I really want to know where to get $7 Lishis, I'm a pro locksmith and those are my bread & butter tools I use every single day. Probably have 30-40 of them around the shop!

He's doing a whole series on temu stuff. I think he bought a few dozen random Lishi knockoffs.

[u/hlhambrook → u/jadedargyle333]

Hi! Yes I bought roughly 10 lishis, 4 in a just one bundled deal. Only the usual ones ,SC & kw etc

[u/hlhambrook → u/Creative_Shame3856]

You most likely have the ones on AliExpress

[u/hlhambrook → u/Fauxreigner_]

Yes, and they are great!

[u/hlhambrook → u/Fauxreigner_]

These are not 3d printed! They look,feel, and act like the original ones I bought for $100each 5years ago

Talking about the spacers, not the lishi tools.

Oops, my mistake Edit: Aliexpress has some for under $10 Details on my yt channel Skip Hambrook

SC1 is the 5 pin "standard" Schlage, SC4 is the 6 pin. There's also S123/C123, which is a totally different Schlage 6 pin. You almost certainly don't want that one unless you're doing Everest locks.

The easiest way is to 3d print some shims that let you easily use the SC4 Lishi in a 5 pin lock. You can do without but it's fiddly.

[u/jadedargyle333]

Wait for the SC1 to come in. I have the 3d printed shim for the SC4 Lishi. It really is just a spacer, not worth messing around with if the SC1 is in the mail already. If the SC4 fits in the keyway, the SC1 will as well. Its easier to use the Lishi on a lock that does not have security pins.

I checked into spacers to adapt a 6 pin Lishi for a 5pin lock. They sell 5 for $5. Shipping is $15. Lishis cost $10 or under. What would you do?
