Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Keeper 585 and Keeper 510?
The primary difference is length: the Keeper 585 is 85cm (2.8') while the Keeper 510 is 100cm (3.3'). Both use 3mm hardened steel links and share the same cylinder, bracket and security rating. Choose the 510 if you need extra reach to lock both wheels and the frame to larger objects.
How secure is a 3mm link folding lock compared to a U-lock?
A 3mm link folding lock like the Keeper offers good portability but less cut resistance than thicker U-locks or heavy chains. With a 5/10 security rating, it deters opportunistic thieves but is not recommended for leaving a bike in high-risk or overnight locations where more robust locks are advised.
Can I replace lost keys?
Yes — Kryptonite provides a Key Safe Program that lets you order replacement keys using a key code supplied with the lock. Keep the key code in a safe place and register your lock if prompted; two physical keys ship with each unit.
Is the bracket compatible with all frames?
The included frame-mount bracket fits most road and commuter frames and mounts typically to the seat tube or down tube using supplied hardware. If your frame has unconventional tubing or limited clearance near bottle cages and cables, the bracket may not fit perfectly — measure before installing or carry the lock in a bag.
What does the $500 Anti-Theft Protection cover?
Kryptonite’s Anti-Theft Protection provides up to $500 in reimbursement for covered losses when your bike is stolen while locked with an eligible Kryptonite lock and the claim meets program terms. Claims usually require proof of purchase, lock registration, and filing within specified timelines. Check Kryptonite’s policy for full details.
Is the lock weatherproof?
The Keeper Folding has a durable weather-resistant coating and sealed cylinder designed for everyday exposure, but like any lock it benefits from occasional lubrication and care in very wet or salty environments. Rinsing and drying after exposure to heavy rain or coastal conditions will extend life.
Buying Guide
When choosing a folding lock, balance portability and security: thinner links fold smaller and weigh less but offer reduced cut resistance. Decide whether you need the shorter 85cm for minimalist carry or the 100cm for extra reach to lock both wheels and frame. Consider how you'll transport the lock — included frame brackets are convenient, but many riders prefer a saddlebag or backpack for cleaner fit. Also evaluate environment and duration of locking: pick a folding lock for quick urban stops and mixed-use rides, but upgrade to a heavy-duty U-lock or chain if you routinely leave your bike unattended for long periods or in high-risk areas.
