alphas.... : That's good info, thanks.

dynodonn: When you say circular key lock, do you mean the key is cylindrical with dents cut out of its outside, or do you mean the key is tubular? Be careful if you have a tubular key type one; there was an issue a while ago in which they were quickly make obsolete with Bic pens. (search youtube for 'Kryptonite bic')

colleen c: Also good info, as usual. I didn't realize they made cutters just for big cables.

chandltp: I only mentioned it because the original topic was asking what type of locks folks prefer, and yours was more of an alert to avoid a certain type. Sometimes, it is frowned upon because the original post was a question from a member who is no longer active. (usually when a forum newbie discovers the search feature, but forgets to check the date before replying) Of course it is no big deal though. Carry on!
