Original Lishi Premium Tibbe Reader and Decoder Set — 8-cut side-groove dimple

decoder set for Tibbe-profile locks. IMPORTANT: This is a READER AND DECODER

SET — it reads pin depths and extracts key codes but does NOT pick locks. The

"SET" designation means this product includes multiple decoder instruments for

different Tibbe profiles. Side-groove dimple locks (Tibbe) work differently

from standard pin tumbler locks — they use dimple surfaces rather than pins.

For professional automotive locksmiths working on Ford Scorpio, Jaguar, SSR,

and other Tibbe-profile vehicles.

🔑 How to Use

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

 

1. You must already have a separate Tibbe pick tool to use this decoder set.

2. Tibbe locks are side-groove dimple locks — different from pin tumbler picking.

3. Use your Tibbe pick to access the side grooves and set the lock mechanism.

4. Insert the Lishi Tibbe decoder into the keyway to read the dimple depths.

5. The 8-cut decoder reads the cut depths to determine the key code.

6. Record the key code based on the decoded information.

7. Generate or cut a key based on the decoded information.

(This is a decoder — it does not replace a Tibbe pick tool.)

(Refer to official Lishi training materials for Tibbe side-groove techniques.)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

 

Q1: What is the difference between Tibbe and standard pin tumbler locks?

A: Tibbe locks are side-groove dimple locks — they use a series of dimples on the key's side surfaces rather than traditional pin stacks from above. This is fundamentally different from standard pin tumbler locks like Honda, Ford, Toyota, etc. Tibbe locks are used primarily by Ford (Scorpio), Jaguar, and SSR. They require specific Tibbe decoder tools and pick instruments.

 

Q2: How is this different from the Tibbe 6-Cut Pick Set (Product 141)?

A: Product 141 (Tibbe 6-Cut Pick Set) is a PICK SET — it provides the picking function for Tibbe locks. This Product 172 (Tibbe 8-Cut Reader and Decoder Set) is a DECODER SET — it reads the cut depths. You need BOTH tools to service Tibbe locks: the pick set (Product 141) to open the lock, and the decoder set (Product 172) to read the key code. They are complementary, not interchangeable.

 

Q3: Why is this a "Set" and not a single tool?

A: The "Set" designation means this product includes multiple decoder instruments covering different Tibbe profile variants. Different vehicle applications within the Tibbe family may use slightly different decoder configurations. The set provides coverage for multiple Tibbe variants in one package — convenient for locksmiths who service a range of Tibbe-profile vehicles.

 

Q4: What is the difference between 6-cut and 8-cut Tibbe?

A: The cut depth (6-cut vs 8-cut) refers to the number of cutting positions on the key. 8-cut keys have more possible cut positions and are generally used in higher-security applications. The 8-cut decoder set reads 8-cut Tibbe keys specifically. If you are working on a 6-cut Tibbe application, you would need the corresponding 6-cut decoder.

 

Q5: Do I need a separate pick tool to use this decoder?

A: Yes — this is a reader and decoder set. You need a separate Tibbe pick tool (such as Product 141, the Tibbe 6-Cut Pick Set) to lift the lock mechanism before you can use the decoder to read the key code.

 

Q6: Can I use the 6-Cut Tibbe Pick Set (Product 141) to decode as well?

A: The Tibbe 6-Cut Pick Set (Product 141) is primarily a pick tool for opening Tibbe locks. This Product 172 (Tibbe 8-Cut Reader and Decoder Set) is specifically designed for decoding — it has the gauge markings and geometry to accurately read 8-cut dimple depths. For professional Tibbe service, both tools are recommended.

 

Q7: Do I need special training for Tibbe locks?

A: Yes — Tibbe side-groove dimple locks require specific training. The picking technique for Tibbe is different from standard pin tumbler locks, and the decoder must be used correctly to read dimple depths accurately. Original Lishi offers official training programs for Tibbe-profile locks.

 

Q8: What is the return policy?

A: Locksmith Mall offers a 1-Year Free Return if the tool does not match your lock type or arrives defective. Verify lock compatibility (confirm Tibbe 8-cut profile) before ordering.
