FO38 KEY PROFILE
FO38 Key Basics
The FO38 is a common car key (mostly for Ford vehicles). Here is what you need to know about its design:
-
Double-Sided: The key works no matter which way you slide it in.
-
8 Cut Positions: There are 8 spots on the key where it can be cut.
-
5 Cut Depths: Each spot can be cut to a depth of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
-
Depth Rule: 1 is the shallowest; 5 is the deepest.
How to Use the Lishi FO38 Tool
The Lishi tool is the best way to pick and decode these locks without a key.
Quick Tips for Success
-
Be Gentle: Use light to medium tension. If you press too hard, the lock won’t turn.
-
Ignore “Hard” Wafers: In every FO38 lock, certain spots feel solid or “hard.” Don’t force them. Only pick the spots that feel springy.
-
The Opening Direction: Once the lock turns open, make sure you read the depths (decode) in that same direction.
-
Easy Manual Decoding: If you take the lock apart, the wafers usually have clear marks on them, making it easy to see which cuts you need.
The 3 Lock Versions
Depending on how old the lock is, different spots will feel “hard” when using your tool. Use this chart to know which spots to skip:
| Lock Version | Spots to Ignore (Hard Wafers) |
| 1st Generation | Positions 7 and 8 |
| 2nd Generation | Positions 1 and 8 |
| 3rd Generation | Positions 1 and 2 |
