camlock security?

[gimpy limp]

does anyone know if those locks you can get that use a round / octaganol key (camlock I believe they are called) are more prone to or better at warding off barrel attacks to a padlock compared to a normal key padlock? They just look abit iffy to me not sure why,

these things:

The padlock I was looking at was abit like this but thicker than this one:

The only thing I was concerned with really was other round keys fitting the lock if jammed up their with a hammer?

AFAIK *most* circular keys like that are being phased out since the biro incident.

It was all circular ones, but they're not "circular"......

I've got a titan disc lock which uses a round key. It came with the bike. I think it might be one of the ones that you can supposedly open with a biro. Came down to the bike today to find a Varadero sat next to it with the same lock but a different name stuck on it. Was tempted to test how rubbish they are by using my key.

I think they're good enough, depends on your bike. Anything to stop someone walking up and pushing the bike away is good, there's not alot you can do about more professional thieves.

The oxford titan was the one they tested it on.

They gave out loads of free ones a whileback from places like M&P, I got one.

They now have the long rectangular key with random indents in it.
