Kryptonite Kryptolok LS U-Lock: Heavy Duty Anti-Theft Security for Bicycles, E-Bikes, and Scooters
Category: kryptonite bike lock
Overview of the KryptoLok Long Shackle U-Lock
Security Rating
Rated 6 out of 10 on Kryptonite's proprietary security scale, the KryptoLok Long Shackle U-Lock offers moderate security. This makes it a suitable choice for everyday cyclists seeking reliable protection for their bicycles without the need for heavy-duty options.
Construction and Durability
The lock features a robust 12.7mm hardened performance steel shackle, specifically designed to resist attacks from hand tools, bolt cutters, and leverage methods. Notably, it includes newly engineered hardened double-deadbolts that engage both ends of the shackle, significantly enhancing holding power and resistance against tampering.
Enhanced Design Features
One of the standout features of the KryptoLok is its innovative "pass-thru" crossbar design. This provides advanced protection against twist and single cut-style attacks due to improved anti-rotation features. It also comes with a new protective dust cover to keep the locking mechanism clear of debris and dirt.
Key Features
The lock is equipped with a high-security disc-style cylinder which is resistant to picking and drilling, providing an added layer of protection against thieves. Accompanying the lock are two stainless steel keys, crafted with an ergonomic design that minimizes the risk of bending or breaking during use by reducing torque when inserting or turning the keys.
Transport and Portability
For convenient transport, the KryptoLok includes a Flexframe-U bracket, allowing users to secure the lock in multiple locations on their bike. The dimensions of the lock are 4" x 11.5" (10.2 cm x 29.2 cm), and it weighs approximately 3.25 lbs (1.47 kg), making it manageable to carry.
