Kryptonite new york fahgettaboudit u-lock disaster

Kryptonite crappy locks I would never buy them.

I had one for about 20 years the only problem with it was the key would fit any similar kryptonite type lock fortunately thieves did not catch on to that. The came the star key locks the thieves did catch on to those all you needed was a bic biro to open then their lock mechanism has always been crap.

Another crap lock is those folding ones did a test one of those recently it snapped really easily.

Yes it is a bottle jack they use not a foldy car jack also a scaffold pole works very well I caught a bloke doing it about 18 months ago he had the cheek to say did I want him to fuck my sister hmm nice piece of work.

This is absolute nonsense, as this info is so old as to beggar belief, that someone would mention this in 2011.

This is no longer an issue.

^^^^^^ And this is why.

They're still rubbish over weighted and over rated locks Abus are much better made and those round ones they have just brought out are magic.

Again, absolute nonsense. Both statements.

If you can evidence this then please add any information to this thread

Good advice.

Is this personsl opinion or science fact?

If it's science fact could you please put up a link? I'd like to see how much better Abus are as I need a new lock.

Yes, please do inform us. Kryptonite and other lock makers do take part in the Locks That Work thread, so we'll all be waiting.

As an update to this I got an email from Kryptonite customer service this morning.

They are willing to pay for a locksmith to cut the lock off and to replace it.

Excellent customer service; and why people swear by the best of Kryptonite's products.

Nice work, good result.

Nothing beats the kryptonite fag for locking up in london I'd say. You can't fit a bottle jack in it, it's 18mm thick, and it would appear the customer service is very good. There's even a kryptonite employee who regularly posts in the locks thread when people have a problem with them.

Exactly.

From personal experience I will always buy Kryptonite.
That's not the first story I've seen on here about Kryptonite willing to pay for a faulty lock.

3 Years ago I bought an Abus Granit, 2 months later the key snapped in the lock, Abus refused to have anything to do with it, I lost £90 on a locksmith to cut it off. (somewhere on here there is a very old thread about it I believe)

Bought Kryptonite ever since and never had any issue.

This forum believes Clefty and her experience, and that of other long-term forum-members.

I know my response is harsh, but such scaremongering and misinformation needs to be firmly nipped in the bud.
