A guided pick and decoder for APECS Three Star dimple locks
The Dangerfield APECS Three Star tool is a Lishi-style tool for a specific dimple and slider problem. It gives you a visible grid and a dedicated slider section so the work becomes controlled rather than blind.
Buy this when the lock profile matches the tool
A guided pick and decoder is strongest when it is chosen by profile, not by guesswork. The grid helps you work one position at a time and repeat what they learn.
Profile-specific
Made for APECS Three Star dimple locks with slider mechanisms.
Guided feedback
The visible scale helps make pin and slider work repeatable.
Pick and decode
Supports both manipulation and decoding practice.

Made for the APECS Three Star and its slider, with a visible grid and a dedicated slider section.
APECS has made more than one version of its AP cylinder, so check the model on your cylinder or key card before you choose. Yale dimple cylinders have their own Dangerfield tools.
Find your Lishi in three taps
Every Lishi is cut for one keyway. Tell us what you're opening and we'll show you the pick and decoder that fits it.
What are you opening?
A Euro cylinder is the keyed barrel on most uPVC and composite doors. A rim cylinder sits on the face of the door, usually with a night latch.
Which make is the car?
Covering several makes? The Lishi Euro Car 5-Pack puts HU66, HU100, HU101, HU92 and HU64 in a magnetic case and saves you 10%.

Your Lishi for Ford
Most Fords from 2020 use the HU198. Check yours on the vehicle list.
Car locks change between trims, model years and markets, and one make can run two keyways in the same year. We match each profile to the cars it's built for, but small differences between locks mean we can't promise a fit on every car. Check your model and year on the vehicle list before you order. Our returns cover unused tools in their original packaging, so a Lishi that has been tried in a lock counts as used and can't come back.
Your Lishi for Vauxhall
Movano and Vivaro vans use the VA6.

Use the scale as a training aid
Confirm the lock family, use light tension, and move through the positions methodically. Decode notes are useful only when the profile and technique are correct.
- Match the exact lock family before use.
- Work one position at a time with light tension.
- Record decoded positions carefully.
