Subject: Just sent my Kryptonites back
|
I've known about the "Bic pen trick" for opening a Krytonite tubular lock
for well over a year, but it just dawned on me that I'd probably be able to
exchange the relatively worthless, virtually indestructable, piece of metal
for something that could actually be used as a lock. Not a painful process
at all. You just go to their website, look up your lock, find the
substitute, and fill out the form. They email you a prepaid UPS label and
you just box up your lock with at least one of the keys and send it back.
Supposed to get a new lock within 3-5 weeks. Of course most people probably
already know about this, but thought I'd mention it.

You missed out teh four-month-plus wait, at least in teh UK. I
registered in October, and finally got my lock about a month ago. I'm
not aware of anyone in teh UK who's had teh exchange in under four
months.

Just a note to say that yes, it does work. They replaced my pair of K
locks, including one > 15 yrs. old that was getting a bit stiff and was
up for replacement anyway.
