Key no longer works

Was about a month with this product. Keep hey right next to my car keys. The key doesn't work today. I'll try the spare key, and if that doesn't work, a hacksaw. I will never use this lock again and will never buy a kryptonite lock again.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not able to work

Rust and seizure after 14 months

It started to rust after a little over a year. It is used daily and no longer spins as smoothly. He was left outside most of the time (bike racks at school) so he was exposed to harsh conditions. However, given the price and reputation of the brand, I was expecting a higher quality stainless steel.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Disappeared

DO NOT BUY THIS LOCK!

Why do I have to give this product at least 1 star to write a review? It doesn't even deserve half a star. I purchased this lock despite many reviewers commenting on the faulty key locking mechanism as many had no issues. It's not good if you have a lock on your bike that won't open. I really don't understand why a company with such a good reputation keeps selling a product that is notoriously poor quality. VERY VERY DONE.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Empty

Keyhole starts to stick after a few months

This lock worked fine for the first few months but I've had it for about 6 months now and the lock is already breaking. The keyhole is fixed to prevent the key from turning. Every time it gets stuck it takes 10 minutes longer to lock my bike and it's the most frustrating thing I've ever experienced. My fiancรฉ has the same bike lock and the same thing happens. Save yourself the disappointment if you want it to last longer than a few months.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Secret

Worst bike lock I've ever had

Worst bike lock I've ever had. Kryptonite made excellent locks. Now they have changed the locking mechanism which includes a very thin key that bends very easily. The lock has been blocked for me many times and won't open for several days until it randomly unlocks from time to time. I had to take public transport home every time my bike got stuck somewhere because I couldn't open the lock. Now you must address the kryptonite directly, for there is no turning back.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Registration could not be completed

Absolutely impossible to write the key/code for the keys. The code does not match the model in the registration form. I tried all requests for kryptonite, only got ticket no but no reply, 20 days, one hour wasted; I would not have bought the product if I knew Kryptonite uses Zendesk for customer service, they are the worst! Others complained that it was impossible to get kryptonite over the phone. If you don't register, bad deal. The lock looks good but absolutely disgusted when they offer 3โ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Write later

Solid Lock, Advanced Mounting Kit

Kryptonite is the industry standard for a reason. These locks are easy to use and although heavy and somewhat bulky, give a good sense of security. However, the longer bar can be a bit more difficult to store on the bike, especially when using bottle cages. The memory attachment system has been improved compared to previous lock models. Previous kryptonite locks I've used included a plastic clip that was difficult to attach and detach from the lock without breaking, not to mention a nightmareโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Medium

Great castle! AMAZING service from Kryptonite!

UPDATE 05/30- Kryptonite asked for a photo of the damage which I sent. They immediately sent me a new lock and sent me a UPS label to send the damaged one back. All during Covid-Crazy! First class service, nice to get it these days. UPDATE 15.05. Tighten the slotted screw with the included wrench and the screw has been removed. Later, on my first ride with the shackle installed, the wedges came loose, the lock twisted in the bracket and rubbed against the rear tire, damaging the shackle coverโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable

Great lock as locks

Well done. Plastic coating for scratch protection. It is attached to the crossbar on both sides, requiring the thief to cut open the device twice to remove it. chilling. There is a cute little cover on the lock/keyhole to keep scuffs away. I turned the silver collar on the U-piece. It is held in place by a rubber O-ring and unscrews fairly easily if the set screw is loose. The instructions don't really tell you anything, but if you have to slide the entire assembly _backwards_ to get it out ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old
