One of the reviews here made me a bit nervous that it would be a pain to install, so I wanted to come back and report. I think the manufacturer's instructions might make it seems a little more complicated than it really is, as they cover a lot of contingencies and have hints you might not need. Basically:1. Easily wiggle off the pieces on the crossbar and replace with those provided. There is no real resistance or difficulty with this part.2. Remove the two rubber gaskets and the hanging mount if you have one from the u-shaped part of the lock.3. Cut off the vinyl cover on the u-shaped part of the lock. They suggest heating the metal and existing vinyl cover in hot water first, to make it pliable enough to fit scissors under the edge, but it was easier to just carefully use a box cutter.4. Adjust the size of the replacement vinyl cover per the directions to roughly match your lock size (you will do final trimming later)5. Heat the metal and the new vinyl in hot water for 2-3 minutes to make things easier (this time it is necessary); put a spoonful of dish detergent in your hand and coat the u-shape; dry your hands for traction.6. Quickly slip the new vinyl over the metal, scooting it along until it is in place. Using a cloth for traction helped. There will be some extra on both ends. This is the step others seem to have had trouble with. It took me about 90 seconds. I think it would have been much messier if I had used actual bike lube. The directions include a bunch of hints, and how to get it started again if the vinyl loses pliability before you get it all the way on, like re-warming and re-lubing, or using an air gun. They also mention a YouTube video, but I did not need to refer to it.7. Trim the ends of the vinyl to the right length specified in the directions, and replace the rubber gaskets and hanging mount.The whole thing took about 15 or 20 minutes, including reading directions and all set up and clean up. I really like the new look. Good luck! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, VERY EASY to install! *by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2014* At first I was hesitant to buy this as a lot of the reviews focused on how difficult the skin was to apply. However, I had absolutely no difficulty. What might have helped is that I used very hot water, let it soak for a full three minutes, and I put a lid on the bowl I used to keep more of the heat in.The skin slid on very easily. What I wish I did differently was to cut the skin to the correct length before putting it on. I was able to cut the excess skin off, but I feel it would have been a little easier to cut it while off of the shackle.I bought this for two reasons. I love the color white and this skin certainly expresses that. The lock now is very striking and goes better with my white bike. (Now to find a better-looking cable to match!) Also, the rubber cap on my lock was broken and exposed the end of the lock, allowing it to rust and sometimes freeze when water got in.This was so easy I wish I had installed it months ago when I first purchased it. Do not let those other reviews put you off! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Installation was a bit of work but worth it *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2016* Installation was a bit of work but worth it. This is after all a vanity item. The difficult part is the U part of the lock. The top bar is easy to replace.1. You have to cut off the previous skin. So there is no going back.2. Measure up the skin to the lock and cut to the correct length. I messed up on this part and mine was a tad short, so had to cut a tiny bit extra bit so there would not be more bare lock exposed.3. You need to heat of the lock and the skin in some hot water.4. Once heated up, lube up the lock with some soap.5. Slide on the skin, the lock will be hot and slippery so a towel or something else to help with the heat and soap is helpful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1573321-kryptonite-mini-bicycle-u-lock-color-skin](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1573321-kryptonite-mini-bicycle-u-lock-color-skin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
