Don’t Get Picked by Fakes. Demand Original Lishi®.
The Problem: Counterfeit Lishi Tools Are Everywhere
If you’ve been in the locksmith trade for any length of time, you’ve encountered them—Lishi tools that look almost right but perform terribly. The counterfeit problem is so widespread that Mr. Li himself has issued public warnings about fake tools flooding the market.
Fake Lishi tools cost you more than money:
- ❌ Inaccurate depth readings — Misread a wafer by one cut and the key doesn’t work
- ❌ Poor materials — Soft metal that bends, wears, or snaps in the lock
- ❌ Rough finishing — Scratches keyways and damages customer locks
- ❌ No anti-glare coating — Harder to read under work lights
- ❌ Wrong profiles — “Fits all” claims that fit nothing properly
Our Promise: 100% Authentic or Your Money Back
Every tool sold at Lockpicked.com is guaranteed to be a genuine, factory-produced Original Lishi® tool, sourced exclusively through authorized Original Lishi distribution channels.
If you receive a tool from us and can prove it’s not an authentic Original Lishi product, we’ll refund you in full—no questions asked.
How to Identify Genuine Original Lishi Tools
Here’s what to look for (straight from Mr. Li and the Original Lishi team):
| Feature | Genuine Lishi | Counterfeit |
|---|---|---|
| Packaging | New branded packaging (post-Nov 2024) with security features | Generic plastic sleeves, photocopied labels |
| Laser Engraving | Deep, crisp, precise engraving of model number and logo | Shallow, blurry, or misaligned markings |
| Anti-Glare Finish | Dark matte coating on the scale area | Shiny or inconsistent finish |
| Feel in the Lock | Smooth insertion, precise feedback | Rough, loose, or overly tight |
| Decoding Accuracy | Dead-on every time | Inconsistent — one wafer off is common |
| Price | Professional-grade pricing reflecting real manufacturing | “Too good to be true” — and it is |
A Word from Mr. Li
“To further protect your investment, we’ve registered the Original Lishi trademark and introduced new security packaging. Counterfeit tools not only cheat you out of your money—they damage the reputation of locksmiths who unknowingly use them on customer vehicles. Always buy from authorized vendors.”
— Mr. Li, Creator of Original Lishi Tools
