About the NEW YORK NOOSE 1213 The Kryptonite New York Noose 1213 Chain Lock and Padlock is a high security chain. It has been tried and tested in the streets of New York! Sporting 12 mm six-sided hexagonal chain links made from triple heat-treated boron manganese steel for ultimate strength, it includes a larger cinch ring. The narrow inner width of individual links prevent leverage attacks. The EV series 4 Disc lock has flat keyway locking mechanism for extensive holding power with high picking resistance. There is a patented, ovalized, extra-strong crossbar to withstand pull force and cut force. A 14mm ovalised hardened steel shackle completes static security. The disc cylinder now includes an anti-float feature to keep the discs from moving and readjusting when in transit. The long chain is versatile and easy to use. Both the chain and lock defy bolt cutters, saws, hammers and chisels. Weatherproof protective nylon covering allows easy coiling for transporting and storing; it protects paintwork. The design benefits from a sliding dustcover that protects and extends cylinder life.

While much has changed in bicycling, and bicycle security, Kryptonite\\\'s objective remains the same, they are here to empower you to protect what you value. Through constant innovation, expert guidance, and Kryptonite\\\'s never-ending commitment, they continue to pursue their passion and do everything they can to ensure you can go where you want, when you want by offering smart, serious security solutions. In 1989, an unusually high number of Anti-Theft Protection claims in central New York City, forced Kryptonite to stop offering protection there until 1994. The New York Lock was introduced in 1994 and became a flagship lock for the company. By 2013 Kryptonite became part of Allegion PLC through the spinoff of Allegion from Ingersoll-Rand. This separation allows Allegion to focus solely on commercial and residential security businesses. Bicycle Locks Buying Guide
