i've seen these before, they just look like a variation on the normal tubular locks you get, they're still 7 pin and still have the groove the key goes into to turn it, so it just seems like they're laid out slightly differently, i'd imagine that they're about as secure as any other tubular, just a different style.

Hmmm, I can't decide whether that would be harder or easier than a standard tubular. On the negative hand, you don't have the post in the center which I use for leverage for tension. On the positive, everything is a more open, and easier to access.
