"Besieged bike-lock firm plans product
upgrade

"Canton lockmaker Kryptonite yesterday
disclosed a broad upgrade program for its
well-known bike locks after many cyclists
complained the products can be picked
open with ballpoint pens.  ¡ ¢ 



"Last Sunday cyclists began lighting up
the Web with complaints Kryptonite's
Kryptolok and Evolution lines, as well as
other brands, can be picked using ballpoint
pens as substitutes for the lock's tubular
metal keys. Similar concerns have been
raised about the locks on everything from
telephone-booth coin boxes to laptop
computers.

"Kryptonite executives declined to
comment on the specifics of the concerns,
and said their products still provide an
effective deterrent."
