What are the important things to consider about the lock itself?
• Design features. Make sure that the design provides functional security, not some gimmick that just looks cool. • Materials. The ideal steel is hardened against cutting yet maintains flexibility for ease of use. Kryptonite’s famous MAX-Performance Steel is used in the New York series and Evolution series 4 locks and is both hardened and flexible. • Services. Learn about both the past performance of the lock and the manufacturer, making sure that both have a good track record. Things to ask your bicycle retailer about are: warranties, anti-theft protection offers, lifetime key replacement, prompt key replacement (ask about Kryptonite’s free keys) and, most of all, the customer service experiences at the manufacturer. At Kryptonite, when you buy one of our locks, we’ve just started our relationship with you and we hope it is a life-long one!
