Is this the same case for the Kensington locks? They utilize the same round keyhole mechanism (at least Kryptonite use to, untill they recalled all round keyhole locks and replaced them with traditional ones). Kensington has not made a recall, but I'm kind of nervous since Kensington continues to use the round keyhole technology despite Kryptonite's recall and lawsuit.
