I have one and haven't used it for years because of this. I tried picking it and opened it with a bic pen. And no, Kryptonite will not send you a kit to fix these locks or replace them - check their website. They claim they replaced locks for a year - several years ago. I remember it as a discount on a newer Kryptonite lock so I'd end up paying more for them to fix their mistake - no thanks. I'll never buy another, no sense in rewarding those who rip you off and whitewash it with PR.
think how many criminals are carrying pens most are stupid and illeteriate theres a reason they turned to crime yes i know some its not there fault but now im gonna get a bunch of fuckin comments from pussies who cant take the truth dont even bother sending me those comments ill delete before i read em
@whitekni418 SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU MUST LIVE IN A BARN. IN THE CITY, WHERE I HAVE ALWAYS LIVED-THERE ARE SUCH THING AS BIKE THIEVES. THEY STEAL BIKES THAT COST IN-BETWEEN $500-2000, AND THEY MAKE A GOOD LIVING RE-SELLING THEM (PROBABLY MAKE MORE THAN YOU). SO IF YOU THINK IT'S SO PUSSY BRING YOUR SHITTY BIKE TO NYC AND SEE HOW YOUR KRYPONITE LOCK WORKS....YOU SHOULD SHUT YOUR MOUTH NOW FUCKFACE.
Fuck me lol. I'm glad people are saying this only applied to locks back in 2005. I think they should use EVERYTHING on their products before they put it into mass production and into stores
For anyone with this type of lock, contact Kryptonite. They will send out a fitment kit to replace the lock barrel with the new type that is resistant to this type of attack.
Its just the tubular locks that are at risk. My kryptonite lock has a slot lock and is not prone to this kind of attack. Unfortunately, any lock - even chain / masterlocks can be broken if someone wants it badly enough.
@whitekni418 are you a criminal? Your pretty illiterate.
