That's really unfair... The rubbish round-key locks were an industry standard, Oxford actually had more crescent locks out there than most companies as they used them and flat keys for most of their higher quality locks. Pretty much all of the major lock companies used the round keys though. Oxford were a bit odd about how they deal with it, they did it all case by case rather than issuign a general notice. They did replace every suspect lock they were brought, which is the main thing, but they approached it strangely and it caused lots of suspicion- that's why MCN focused so much on them, MCN predictably were mainly after a big headline and so made it Oxford vs bikers.
