U-Locks and Cylindrical Key Systems

Hello All,

I have searched through as many threads as is humanly possible looking for an answer to my question, so please forgive me if this was answered in the discussion of the Kryptonite "scandal." Are ALL cylindrical locks as easily compromised as the ones that Kryptonite was using? I have a Stocks Lock u-lock and it is a very nice (and expensive) piece of hardware that I would rather not replace (see http://www.stocksmfg.on.ca ). The cylindrical tumbler is not the same size as a Bic pen, or any other pen or plastic tube that I own, but, if somebody did have the right diameter tube, could it be opened as easily as the Kryptonite locks? The tumbler is made by American Lock, or at least that is what the key says.

Thanks.
