Kryptonite Offering Free Upgrade Worldwide for Consumers' High End Tubular
Cyliner Locks; Unprecedented Offer Intended to Address the Needs of Loyal
Consumers
CANTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 17, 2004--Kryptonite today announced
it will provide free product upgrades for certain locks purchased since
September 2002, in response to consumer concerns about tubular cylinder lock
technology. Consumers can visit the company's Website (
<http://www.kryptonitelock.com/> www.kryptonitelock.com) on Wednesday
afternoon, September 22, 2004, to learn how they can participate in the
security upgrade program.
Consumers who have purchased an Evolution lock, KryptoLok lock, New York
Chain, New York Noose, Evolution Disc Lock, KryptoDisco or DFS Disc Lock in
the last two years are eligible for a product upgrade free of charge from
Kryptonite. Customers will need to have either registered their key number,
registered for the Kryptonite anti-theft protection offer or have proof of
purchase to qualify.
Specifically, Kryptonite will provide for free cross bars featuring the
company's new disc-style cylinder lock technology to consumers who have
purchased Evolution and KryptoLok series products. In addition the company
will replace for free recently purchased Evolution Disc Locks on New York
Chain and New York Noose with its "Molly Lock", a heavy duty solid steel
padlock. Kryptonite also will upgrade recently purchased disc locks.
Consumers who have had one of the Kryptonite locks mentioned with a tubular
cylinder for longer than two years will be eligible for a sizeable rebate on
the upgraded products. This program will be administered through Kryptonite
dealers and distributors.
A distributor and dealer swap program will be rolled out through direct
communication from Kryptonite to all its partners.
Full details about this unprecedented program will be available on
Kryptonite's website by afternoon Eastern Standard Time, Wednesday,
September 22, 2004, at <http://www.kryptonite.com/> www.kryptonite.com
