Review: Lost key for old lock needed replacement - I had a long Kryptonite bike lock but lost one of the set of keys and was not happy with having one key for a lock for my bike. So I ordered this off desertcart because I could not find an affordable long U-lock in my local bike shops, and there are several in the area. I was surprised that I could keep the old U part of the lock and use it with the new locking part. Why would I do such a thing? I had a little trouble getting the plastic part on the new U off and did not want it as I was not going to attach it to my bike. I'm in a city with a lot of bike thefts and so I have a crappy looking bike and three (sometimes 4) locks, I'm not attaching them all to my bike. Ugly bike+3 bike locks*leaving bike outside=Not getting stolen in 10 years. I love the long U lock because I can get it around a parking meter base, the bike frame and sometimes the front wheel. The regular bike locks are too short to get them around whatever I'm attaching the bike to (iron fence, skinny pole, railing, etc) and my frame.
Review: Excellent lock, slightly faulty bracket - This is the third Kryptonite lock I buy and the first Keeper. The lock works perfectly. I have never had any problems with Kryptonite lock in general, and this was not the exception. The lock itself is not as heavy as other, "more secure" locks from Kryptonite, but it seems just as sturdy. I feel safe leaving my bike in a park-and-ride for the whole day. They changed the bracket and it's much easier and straightforward to attach it to the bike, but it has the same problems that that other one had. Mainly, it gets slightly loose over time, not enough to stop being functional, but enough to make it sound like all the screws in the bike are about to fall off. It is a matter of tightening it every so often, or just carry the lock in your backpack like most people do. Not a deal breaker though. Overall, the lock is five stars (the bracket not so, but compared to other brackets out there, it is on par).

### ⭐⭐ Lock/key is hard to operate

The lock is very clumsy and the key to the lock is difficult to work.
