Review on Kryptonite Keeper Standard Bicycle Bracket by Scott Tompkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great lock, slightly defective bracket

This is the third kryptonite lock I've bought and the first Keeper. The lock works perfectly. I've never had a problem with a kryptonite lock and this one was no exception. The lock itself is not as heavy as other, "safer" kryptonite locks, but feels just as strong. I feel safe leaving my bike in the park all day. They changed the bracket and it's much easier and simpler to attach it to the bike, but it has the same problems as the previous one. Basically it loosens up a bit over time, not enough to stop working, but enough to make it sound like all the bolts on the bike are falling off. You'll need to tighten it from time to time or just carry the lock in your backpack like most people do. However, this does not violate the terms of the contract. In general, there are five stars for the closure (the bracket is not very good, but compared to other braces on the same level).

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • unreliable
