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.
