Well, a few days ago I had a question about experience any of you may have
had with exchanging their lock, but while it was sent twice, it was never
received by the list. I am still interested to know if you had any luck.
Here is a newer message from Kryptonite, that, contrary to previous ones,
states that all locks that are prone to Bic-picking (sic), regardless of
age, will be replaced.
--------
"Canton, MA September 22, 2004 - Kryptonite today announced that the company
is offering free product exchanges to all consumers who are concerned about
the security of their current Kryptonite tubular cylinder locks.
At no charge to them, consumers will be able to exchange their current
Kryptonite tubular cylinder lock for a Kryptonite non-tubular cylinder lock.
Kryptonite will begin exchanging products within a few weeks as it
accelerates product availability."
--------
I called K today and was told that I need to sign up for their exchange
program on their website (navigation skills required), print out a shipping
label, send my lock and they will send me a new one. I am planning on doing
that soon.
Thanks,
Nikos Tzetos

NEWS RELEASE: September 17, 2004
Kryptonite to Offer Free Upgrade Worldwide for Consumers' High End Tubular
Cylinder Locks
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. You can visit the company's Website (www.kryptonitelock.com)
on
Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 22, 2004, to learn how to 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. You will need to have either registered your key number,
registered for the Kryptonite anti-theft protection offer, or have proof

Specifically, Kryptonite will provide for free cross bars featuring the

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 [purchase of] upgraded products. This program will be administered
through Kryptonite dealers and distributors.
A distributor and dealer swap program will be rolled out through direct
