The Lishi HU101 is the 10-cut Ford and Jaguar keyway tool — the model that covers a large share of modern Ford door, ignition and trunk locks in one body. If you work on Fords from the last two decades, this is usually the first Ford Lishi you buy, and the FO38 is the one you add for older vehicles.
The HU101 is a decoder as much as a pick: it reads all ten positions, so you can cut a key on site instead of towing the vehicle.
Which locks this tool fits
Look for HU101 on the key head or cylinder face. The tool is listed for Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover and Mustang applications, and it covers ignition, door and trunk locks.
Two things to confirm before ordering:
- Cut count — 10. HU101 is a ten-cut keyway. An eight-cut Ford key is a different tool.
- Vehicle generation. Ford changed keyways over the years. The HU101, FO38, HU198/FORD2017 and FORD2021 are not interchangeable.
HU101 vs the other Ford tools
| Tool | Keyway | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| HU101 (this page) | 10-cut | Modern Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mustang |
| FO38 | 8-cut | Older Ford ignition and door locks |
| HU198/FORD2017 | 10-cut | 2018+ Focus and newer Ford applications |
| FORD2021 | 8-cut | Ford New Century, New Transit, Leopard CS10 |
How the decode workflow runs
- Confirm HU101 on the key or cylinder. Do not guess from the badge.
- Insert into the lock position you need — the same tool covers ignition, door and trunk.
- Tension and lift each of the ten pins, reading depths off the scale as they set.
- Record all ten positions before removing the tool.
- Cut and test the key with a key machine or the factory cutter pliers.
Common mistakes
- Using HU101 on an eight-cut Ford. Check the key: ten cuts means HU101, eight usually means FO38 or another family.
- Assuming all "Ford" tools are the same. HU101, FO38, HU198 and FORD2021 cover different generations.
- Buying HU101 for a Land Rover without checking the keyway. Some Land Rover applications use HU92 — confirm the stamp first.
Why ten cuts matter
Ten independent positions mean a deeper key and a larger combination space. For the locksmith the practical difference is discipline: every position has to be read before you cut. One missed depth gives you a key that inserts but will not turn, which is worse than no key at all.
What the tool does not do
The HU101 works the mechanical lock. It does not program immobilisers, clone transponders or bypass electronic security. On vehicles where the door has no exposed keyway, there is nothing for the tool to read — confirm the vehicle has a mechanical lock before you plan the job.
Care and storage
Wipe the tool after each job, blow grit out of the pick channel, apply a light film of oil to the moving parts and store it dry. A decoder that sticks will read depths inaccurately, and inaccurate depths produce keys that almost work — the most expensive kind.
Frequently asked questions
Does HU101 work on both ignition and door locks?
Yes — the listing covers ignition, door and trunk locks. Confirm the specific vehicle's keyway before you rely on it.
What is the difference between HU101 and FO38?
HU101 is a 10-cut keyway; FO38 is 8-cut and aimed at older Ford ignition and door locks. They are not substitutes.
Can I cut a key from the decoded depths?
Yes. The decoder gives you all ten positions; you need the correct blank and a cutter.
Will HU101 work on a 2018+ Focus?
The 2018+ Focus application is listed under HU198/FORD2017, not HU101. Check the keyway stamp before choosing between them.
Is the HU101 suitable for Land Rover?
The listing includes Land Rover, but Land Rover also uses HU92 on some applications. Check the keyway stamp before ordering.

Buying guide & support
Ordering, Shipping and Aftercare
Buying the right tool
Match the keyway code in the title to the vehicle or lock you are working on. The cut number (5-cut, 8-cut, 10-cut) describes the bitting geometry, not tool quality.
Shipping

Returns
Return unused items in original packaging within 30 days of delivery. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 3–7 business days of inspection.
The product title states the keyway and the vehicle families it is built for. Because one brand can use several keyways across model years, confirm year, market and lock position before ordering — contact us if you are unsure.
Package contents are listed in the “In the box” section when the supplier provides them. Tools are supplied in the manufacturer’s packaging with the decoding card where applicable.
