The purchase did not bring joy, the product is bad.

I took it to replace the Chinese noname with which I traveled to work for 7 years. In fact, only the season worked perfectly. The operation is the same as the previous Chinese, even less than twice, and given that, unlike the noname, it lasted a year without problems against 7, itโ€™s worse. The second time I would not take the same.

Pros
  • Good chain. If you live in warm countries without precipitation.
Cons
  • There is no protection for the castle heal. There are only 2 keys included. Keys began to seize. There are traces of rust.

My son uses it every day at school. To .

My son uses it at school every day. After about two months the keys couldn't open the lock and now it stays on the bike and I have to cut it with a cutter.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Unreliable

Easy to cut for thieves

That's it. This lock is very easy to cut with standard bolt cutters, even if they have to cut the same chain twice. I would NOT recommend this lock for high theft or overnight stays! was also at work. I'm going to invest in a thicker motorcycle chain because I'm just fed up with my second bike being stolen in Las Vegas this year.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Clarity

My bike was stolen because the lock didn't work

My bike was stolen with this lock. The lock was only picked with a slotted screwdriver. I would recommend anyone looking to buy a chain lock to look into a U-lock for added security. Hopefully Kryptonite will help me honor their bike refund guarantee if their locks are broken. I will update this review when I get a response from you.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Slightly torn

but after all this time almost every kryptonite i owned had this problem

i ordered a white lock and got a red lock. Otherwise 5 stars. I live in New York and keep my bike at my apartment so this lock is only for quick stops on the road. As for that, the lock is holding up well and I still own my bike. I've never had a key turning problem, but after so many years almost every kryptonite I've owned has had this problem, so I expect it to happen in a few years. There is lead powder that you can buy for locks if you have trouble sticking and as some of these models areโ€ฆ

Pros
  • absolute legend
Cons
  • minor problems

Failure in less than 3 months

The lock fulfilled its function during work. I think that can be taken as a plus. Unfortunately, after less than 3 months, the lock no longer opened. This is a bit of an awkward situation as I now have a hardened chain around my bike and can't get it off. The keys to this lock are very fragile so at first I thought the key I was using was simply worn out. When I returned to my apartment and was given a spare key that had never been used, I found that this was not the case. The key fully engages

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Reliability

#NoMoreStolenBikes for chain locks

I live in Long Beach, California, a town of stolen bikes. I've seen people bring stolen bikes right off the porch because they had a poor quality chain. When I saw this product I was hesitant at first because everyone says chains are unbreakable. bla bla bla. Well, let me tell you, this company is true to their word. I left my $500 scooter moped outside (STUPID RIGHT?! Wrong) and in fact I wake up the next day to find my chain is broken but to my surprise my moped was still there! I have hadโ€ฆ

Things to think about before you buy

Updating my previous review: The locking mechanism is the most noticeable, works great for me. Yes, the lock is heavy, but isn't that what you need from a lock? I am sure. If it were light, it would be easy to break or cut. That's a beast. Or that? I left the house to find my daughter's bike was missing. The lock remained on the ground where her bike used to be. Looks like the thief burned the lid and then cut the lock off her bike. I'm sure it took a while but it's a public place and theyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Only available in white

2+ year satisfaction

Ownership: over 2 years Number of uses: several hundred I cycled to the Texas Medical Center in Houston every day and locked my bike in front of one of the busiest public hospitals. Sometimes I've parked my bike in places with very little security surveillance, and on several occasions I've left it overnight. I am happy to report that my bike has never been stolen or hacked. It's an intimidating looking lock which I assume is an anti-theft device in its own right. I like the strong chainโ€ฆ

  • 1 year trial
