Plastic tubes can work as keys for circular locks like old Kryptonites used,
apparently. I couldn't get it to work when I tested mine, though I got a
new lock for good measure anyway.

It wasn't unconditional anyway. They weren't replacing very old ones, or
you needed the receipt or something like that - because I couldn't get mine
replaced.
