I have a Kryptonite 2000 purchased in '99 or '00, and a Bic pen barrel is too wide to fit into the keyhole on my lock, unless a *huge* amount of force was used.

The inner diameter of the keyhole (i.e., the outer diameter of the round "plug" in the middle) is about 7mm, and I measure the inner diameter of a Bic "round stic" pen barrel at 6mm. Not much difference, but I can't force the barrel over that central plug, and I can't imagine anyone doing it without a press of some sort.

Can someone who is able to do this hack measure their keyhole (inner and outer diameters; and measure their Bic pen, too, I suppose), and post these dimensions?
