    Bike Lock Key Codes

    Bike lock manufacturers that provide a key replacement scheme for their customers use unique key codes to identify the different cuts that a key requires to be able to operate its lock. 

    Typically manufacturers will stamp key identification codes on the side of the key’s blade. However, key codes are sometimes supplied on a plastic or metal tag with the keys at the time of purchase. 

    Just below, alongside where to get replacement bike lock keys cut, I also show you the typical key code location for each brand with images, so take a look if you’re unsure of what you’re looking for.

    Where To Find Key Codes For Each Bike Lock Brand

    Kryptonite Key Codes

    Kryptonite key codes are typically found on the reverse of the plastic head of the keys.

    Key codes aren’t printed on Kryptonite’s LED keys, or despite what some sources suggest, on the red label that’s supplied on the key chain. This is simply a warning label.

    What To Do If You Can't Find Your Bike Lock Keys/Key Code

    All bike key replacement services require a key code for replacement or additional keys to be cut.

    Unfortunately, this means if you’ve been unable to locate your key code, your chances of getting replacement keys cut are very slim. 

    If you have an existing key for the lock but no key code, you may be able to get a replacement cut by taking your key and lock to a specialist locksmith.

    Alternatively, you could reach out to the manufacturer of your lock and see if they could decode your key. 

    But as I mentioned earlier, I live in central London, and after visiting 10 highly specialised locksmiths, I had no luck getting a key cut for a lock that I had the key code for, so don’t get your hopes up. 

    If your bike lock is secured to your bike, you’ll probably want to read this article, which will teach you how to remove a bike lock without keys. 

    Otherwise, it’s most likely time to get yourself a new lock. Depending on what sort of lock you require, you might want to check out one of the following reviews for several worthwhile suggestions:

    Bike Lock Key Replacement Services

    ABUS Key Replacement Service

    ABUS’ key replacement service is called “ABUS Key Service” and is one of the most straightforward bike lock key replacement services for customers. 

    Any that requires replacement ABUS keys should visit the Key Service page for their country or nearest location:

    If you’re based outside of these locations, then unfortunately, ABUS don’t currently offer a replacement service delivered to your country. 

    But that’s not game over! If you live outside the above locations, you could use a post-forwarding service to forward the key to you from the most convenient location above.  

    Otherwise, you can find your best point of contact or closest approved ABUS retailer here using their world map tool. 

    To Order new keys using the ABUS Key Service, you’ll need your unique keycode, which will either be printed on your ABUS keys or on the blue key card they came with, as shown in the section here.

    Roger Seal, sales and marketing manager of ABUS UK, told me that they do have a mechanical code reader that they can use to read certain key types. so if you don’t have the key code, all hope is not lost. 

    That said, if you can’t find your key code, getting new keys cut will likely be a long process.

    It might be worth trying a few local key-cutting shops to see if they can help. Otherwise, you’ll want to read this section to learn what to do next. 

    ABUS Key Replacement Price

    The price you pay for your replacement ABUS keys depends upon which key you need.

    More complex locking mechanisms like the ABUS Plus and X-Plus keys are more expensive than others but below are the price you can expect to pay for your country: 

    • USA & Canada – All keys $12.99 
    • UK & Ireland – £9.95 to £19.95
    • Germany – €10.95 to €20.95

    Kryptonite Key Replacement Service

    The Kryptonite key replacement service falls under their “Key Safe Program”. 

    Kryptonite’s Key Safe Program provides a free set of replacement keys to the owners of any locks which are sold bearing the Key Replacement Program seal. 

    The locks which the Key Safe Program covers are as follows:

    • New York Fahgettaboudit U-Locks and Chain Locks
    • New York U-Locks, Chain Locks, Disc Locks
    • Evolution Series 4 U-Locks
    • Disc Locks, Evolution Mini U-Locks
    • KryptoLok Series 2 U-Locks
    • Hardwire Cables and Kryptoflex Cables

    If you’re unsure which Kryptonite lock you have, look through their lock models here, and you’ll be able to figure out if you’re eligible for a free replacement. 

    If your lock is eligible for a free replacement, fill out this form, select “Key Safe Program”, and Kryptonite should get back to you.

    There have been mixed feelings about their free replacement service, with several users stating they’ve never been contacted by Kryptonite or received their keys. 

    If your lock doesn’t fall under those covered by the Key Safe Program, or if you don’t have time to wait for replacements, you should use the paid key service to order new Kryptonite Keys.

    Scroll to the bottom of this page, where you’ll input your key code and postal details before ordering your keys. 

    Kryptonite key codes are usually printed on the blade of the key towards the top, as shown under the Kryptonite tab here

    Can’t find your Kryptonite key code? Unfortunately, it’ll be a struggle to get new keys cut without. In this case, you should read this section which advises you on your next best steps.

    Kryptonite Key Replacement Price

    Kryptonite’s pricing structure is nice and simple:

    • 1 Key – $12
    • 2 Keys – $20
    • Additional keys – $5 each


    These prices are inclusive of worldwide shipping, which is very reasonable.  

    Kryptonite Lockout Service

    If you’ve lost all of the keys to your Kryptonite lock and didn’t register or take note of your key code, you’re in a bit of luck if you live in the US or Canada. 

    If your lock is still secured to your bike, then you’ll want to learn how to remove it here.

    Otherwise, you’ll be able to send your lock off to Kryptonite, who will replace it for you with a functioning lock (of the same or similar model) and keys. 

    You do have to pay to use this service, and you’ll need to post your bike lock to them, but it’s normally cheaper than buying a new lock. 

    This page gives the details on the Kryptonite Lockout Service, and you can find out how much this will cost you on this page.

    Master Lock Key Replacement Service

    Unfortunately, Master Lock don’t offer an in-house key-cutting service to their customers.

    However, it says on the Master Lock website that customers can purchase key blanks from their local authorised distributors, which they can then get cut by a specialised locksmith. 

    I’ve contacted Master Lock to find out the best distributors for the below locations and will update this article once I hear back from them:

    • USA & Canada
    • United Kingdom
    • Mainland Europe 

    I live in central London and subsequently have an abundance of locksmiths nearby. 

    The only Master Lock bike lock I’ve used is the 8278EURDPRO, which uses a disc detainer cylinder.

    I called ten highly reputable locksmiths from across London, and none could cut the keys for me, even if I provided the blank keys and a key code.

    For now, I’d say you’re better off buying a new lock than trying to get replacement keys for a Master Lock bike lock. 

    It’s a shame, but after three months of emailing their customer service, I’m no closer to getting the details of a distributor for blank keys, let alone a capable cutting specialist.  

    As and when I hear back from Master Lock, I’ll update this section with any additional info. 

    If you lose your Master Lock keys, read this section which advises you on your next best move. 

    For a reminder of what Master Lock key codes look like, view this image.

    If you can’t find your key code card, OnGuard won’t be able to cut replacement keys, so you’ll want to read this section to find out what to do next. 

    View this image for a reminder of what OnGuard Key Code Cards look like.

    Via Velo Key Replacement Price

    Key replacements bought by the Via Velo website are, as the Via Velo website states, “free”, which isn’t really true. 

    To order keys, you’ll need to cover the shipping cost, which is $24.96 for three replacement keys and worldwide postage.

    • £12.90 for 1 key

    • £10.06 for 10 keys

    If you live in the UK, the above price includes postage, but if you live outside of the UK, then the postage charge will depend upon your location.

    Once you’ve ordered your replacement keys, I show you the first thing you should do when they arrive here

    If you registered your key code on their website when you purchased your lock, they’ll print the keys using the code you registered.

    If you’ve misplaced your key card and don’t know the code, I explain the next steps you should take here

    Seatylock Key Replacement Price

    The Seatylock key replacement service costs $25 for three keys, this includes free shipping to the US.
