In this article, I would like to share my thoughts and experience with you about a customer' s BMW HU92 lock cylinder that had a badly worn reed, which I successfully opened recently.

Since the reed in the lock cylinder is badly worn out, the lock cylinder can no longer be opened using hu92 lishi 2-in-1 auto pick.

Later, I used the light to observe the keyhole and found that the fluctuation point on the reed has been worn flat.


The lishi hu92 should turn here to open it, but it is worn flat, therefore the locking piece cannot be turned. In this case, it is also impossible to unlock using a single hook or Bozai(a car lock pick tool).


The car owner didn’ t want to smash car glass and destroy the lock cylinder. A few peers had already lost the battle. After repeated consideration, I thought of the first generation product of Li' s tools - positioning opener.
This kind of tool has almost eliminated from the market, users can hardly find it on the market, but I have one in stock.

Positioning open and 2-in-1 opening toggle are different.
Positioning open is to push the top and bottom of the reed, even if the turning pointof the reed is gone, it can be opened.

As a result, the lock was successfully unlocked by using the positioning opener.
Under normal circumstances, hu92 lishi pick can completely solve the problem of opening, but in this case, the old two-in-one pick can come in handy.
