Welcome to Vol.3 of the Tradelocks guide to picking and decoding the BMW HU58 door lock using the Genuine Lishi pick and decoder tool.
Decoding the HU58 4 Track Lock
As mentioned earlier in the guide, we must know which positions relate to Axis A and which relate to Axis B. This is simple once you know the following:
A Axis wafers are all the odd numbered positions (1,3,5,7,9 and 11).
B Axis wafers are all the even numbered positions (positions 2,4,6,8,10 and 12).
This is crucial knowledge to be able to cut the correct key from your decode.
To decode the lock, we must position the reader arrow on each numbered line in turn and move it along the line in the OPPOSITE direction to the one we picked, so if we picked the number one position down we must decode it upwards! We then move it along the line until it stops. It will stop on a side line that is numbered one to four on the right side of the tool, this will be your key cut reading.
So, with our lock in the picked open position, we are ready to decode in the opposite direction to the way we picked.
Position one decodes as a number three key cut.
Position two decodes as a number two key cut.
Position three decodes as a number three key cut.
Position four decodes as a number two key cut.
Position five decodes as a number two key cut.
Position six decodes as a number one key cut.
Position seven decodes as a number three key cut.
Position eight decodes as a number three key cut
Position nine decodes as a number one key cut.
Position 10 decodes as a number two key cut.
Position 11 decodes as a number one key cut.
Position 12 decodes as a number three key cut.
Our decode is now complete, and reads as:
Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Reading 3 2 3 2 2 1 3 3 1 2 1 3
We must now convert this to the correct axis readings, so put positions 1,3,5,7,9 and 11 onto the A Axis and all even positions 2,4,6,8,10,12 onto B Axis, giving you a key of:
A Axis – 332311
B Axis – 221323
Simply enter these into your machine and cut the key.
