Description
Open the round keyway, then read the cuts straight back
Tubular locks do not take a flat key. The pins sit in a ring around a central post, which is exactly the keyway you find on bike and cable locks, vending machines, gun cabinets, arcade and pinball cabinets, and plenty of tubular padlocks. This 7-pin tubular pick works all seven pins at once, turns the barrel, and the numbered decoder reads where each pin set so you can record the bitting and do it again in seconds. One round keyway, finally solved.

A tubular lock needs a round tool, not a flat pick
The pin tumbler lock you would attack with a hook and a tension wrench keeps its pins in a straight row. A tubular lock, sometimes called a circular or radial lock, sets its pins in a ring around a central post, so the key is a hollow cylinder rather than a flat blade. If you have ever fed a vending machine, snapped a bike U-lock shut, or opened a gun cabinet, an arcade cabinet, or an alarm or utility panel, you have already met one. A standard hook or rake is built for pins in a line, so it has nothing to grip in that circle. A tool shaped like the lock does.
This one slides over the central post, lines its seven fine picking needles up with the lock's seven pins, and presses them all to the shear line together while you hold light turning pressure. When the barrel gives, you are in. The clever part comes next: the needles hold the depth they found, so you bring the numbered decoder against them and read the bitting straight off the scale.
The job
Pick and decode 7-pin tubular and circular locks: bike and cable locks, vending, gun cabinets, arcade cabinets, and tubular padlocks.
Where it fits
A focused tool for one lock family. It works the round keyway properly, where a general hook-and-rake set simply cannot reach.
Why it matters
The decoder turns a single open into a record you can keep, so you can return to the same lock or have a working key cut.
From round keyway to a recorded cut in four moves
Seat the tool
Slide the pick over the central post so all seven needles sit in the pin chambers of the round keyway.
Tension and press
Add light, steady turning pressure and ease the needles in together so all seven pins reach the shear line.
Feel it turn
When the pins set, the barrel rotates and the lock opens. A light, even hand beats force every time.
Read the cut
The needles hold their depth. Bring the numbered decoder against them and note the bitting to repeat or have keyed.
What comes in the set
This is a self-contained tubular pick and decoder, not a single bare pick. Everything you need to open the lock and record the cut is here.
Two hands, light tension, an even press
One hand steadies the clear alignment sleeve so the tool sits square on the keyway. The other turns the grip and feeds light rotational tension. The needles press as a set, so you are not chasing one pin at a time the way you would with a hook.
Because all seven needles move together, the open is about a smooth, even push more than fast hands. Once the barrel gives, ease off the tension and the decoder does the reading. That is the whole loop: pick, feel the turn, read the cut.
Learn the feel on a clear lock first
Tubular picking clicks fastest when you can watch the pins move. Pair this tool with the clear 7-pin tubular practice lock so you can see the needles set seven pins at the shear line and learn exactly how much tension is too much. A dedicated tubular lock tension tool gives the barrel the steady turn it wants, and if you want to broaden out to round keyways with different pin counts, the 3-piece multi-gauge tubular pick set covers more of the family. For pick-and-decode work on flat car keyways, the Genuine Lishi 2-in-1 picks are the natural companion.

Questions buyers usually ask
What is a tubular lock, and where will I find one?
It is a lock with its pins set in a ring around a central post, opened by a hollow cylindrical key. You meet them on bike and cable locks, vending and coin machines, gun and tool cabinets, arcade and pinball cabinets, alarm panels, and many tubular padlocks. A flat pick cannot reach that geometry, which is why this round tool exists.
What does the decoder do?
After you pick the lock, the needles hold the depth they found. You bring the numbered decoder key against them and read each pin's setting off the scale. Write that bitting down and you can repeat the open or have a working key cut, instead of re-picking from scratch every time.
I have never picked a tubular lock. Is that ok?
Yes. Tubular picking is mostly a steady, even press with light tension, which many people find friendlier than single-pin picking a flat keyway. Start on the clear 7-pin tubular practice lock so you can watch the pins set, and the knack comes quickly.
Will it open my front door lock?
This one is built for 7-pin tubular and circular keyways, the round-keyway kind. For a standard door cylinder you would reach for a pin-cylinder pick set instead. For round keyways with a different pin count, the linked 3-piece multi-gauge tubular set covers more of the family.
Will it open any tubular lock?
It is sized for 9.0 mm 7-pin tubular keyways, which covers the common ones. Worn, gritty, or higher-security tubular locks can resist, and a clean open still depends on technique and the lock's condition. For other sizes or pin counts you would match the tool to that lock.
What should I pair it with?
A clear tubular practice cylinder to learn on, plus a dedicated tubular tension tool for a steadier turn. If you also want pick-and-decode coverage on flat car keyways, the Lishi 2-in-1 range is the natural next step.
One tool that opens the round keyway and reads it back
Pick seven pins at once, feel the barrel turn, then decode the cut so the open becomes a record. Bring light tension, a clear practice lock, and a little patience, and tubular locks stop being a mystery.
