Lock firm Kryptonite has announced an upgrade and rebate program for customers after admitting some types of tubular lock can be opened with nothing more than a biro pen. The claims spread throughout the internet, with videos demonstrating the method of lock-picking being circulated.
The company has brought out their 2005 range ahead of time, featuring new style locks that are pick and drill resistant, and will be colour-coded to enable easy identification of the new products. The Evolution and New York locks will have black and orange crossbars, while the KryptoLok series get a black and silver crossbar.
Any owner who has bought any of the following products in the last two years is eligible for a free upgrade, as long as they have either registered their key number, registered for Kryptonite anti-theft protection, or have their proof of purchase.:
New York Chain, New York Noose and Evolution Disc Lock with a Pik-Safe, disc-style cylinder and key.
If your lock is older than two years, then you still qualify for a sizeable rebate on the upgrades.
