Lishi-Style 2-in-1 Pick & Decoder — KW1, KW5, SC1, SC4, AM5, M1

Six keyways, one tool design. Pick and decode in a single motion — the tool lifts pins to the shear line while a laser-etched scale reads the bitting, so you leave with a working code instead of a guess. Choose your model below: KW1, KW5, SC1, SC4, AM5, or M1.

What makes it worth more than the $20 knockoffs

• Laser-etched scale, not stamped. Depth markings stay legible after a season of daily use. Stamped scales wear smooth and then you are back to guessing.
• Reinforced stainless steel with no flex memory. The tip holds its geometry, which is the whole reason the readings stay accurate.
• Decodes and tensions in one tool. No swapping hands mid-job, nothing extra to drop in the dark.
• Anti-glare matte finish. Readable under a headlamp at 6pm in January.

How it works

1. Insert. The tool goes into the cylinder like a key, blade oriented toward the pins.
2. Read the scale. Lift each pin to the shear line and the etched markings give you the bitting, pin by pin.
3. Cut the key. Transfer the bitting to a code machine or hand-file it. You walk away with a working duplicate and an undamaged cylinder.

This is a professional tool, not a bypass gadget. Expect to put real hours on a transparent practice lock before it becomes fast on live cylinders. If you are starting from zero, our Beginner 18-Piece Practice Kit is the better first purchase.

Specifications

Pick responsibly

Lock picking is a legal hobby and a professional trade in the United States, and the community holds one rule above all others:

Only pick locks you own, or locks you have the owner's explicit permission to open.

Pick and decoder tools are legal to own in most US states, but some states add restrictions around possession or professional use, and the rules do change. Check your own state and local law before ordering. If you are a working locksmith, stay inside your license. We ship to US addresses only, and we sell to adults 18 and over.

Questions we get

How is this different from the cheap listings?
Tip geometry is CNC-ground and the depth markings are laser-etched rather than cast or stamped. That is what determines whether the scale still reads true in year two.

Will it open my own front door?
If the cylinder matches the model you ordered, yes — with practice. Plan on serious time with a transparent practice lock first. Anyone promising instant results is selling you something else.

What if it does not work for me?
Thirty days, money back. If the tool is at fault we refund in full. If you need technique help, tell us and we will send training notes.

Do you do bulk pricing for locksmith schools?
Yes. Email contact@binozion.com with your school name and we will send a quote within one business day.
