Professional Tips for Using the Lishi HU101
This lock is known for being user-friendly due to the clear feedback provided by the internal wafers.
Tension Control:
Apply light to medium tension. The wafers in these cylinders are generally responsive and don’t require heavy force.
Wafers & Feedback:
These locks tend to provide excellent tactile feedback when a wafer is picked correctly, making it easier to identify set positions.
Decoding Rules & Logic:
Position 10: Always decode this as a 2.
Position 1: This position will never have a depth of 1.
MAC (Maximum Adjacent Cut): There will never be a difference of more than two depths between adjacent positions (e.g., if position 4 is a “1”, position 5 can only be a 1, 2, or 3).
Decoding Direction:
Decode this lock in the same direction as it was picked/opened.
