Has anyone tried replacing their CH751 on their storage compartments with magnetic cam locks?

They claim to be pick proof, but that isn't why they interest me. The CH751 locks on my storage compartment are a PITA to use. The key doesn't slide in as easy as it should and the locks are very stiff. These look like they will hold up well, the weather (ice and snow) and dirt should not be able to jam them....at least that's what they claim.
I fully recognize that the storage compartments can be easily broken into with a pry-bar or larger screw driver, but they are better than nothing. At least with these locks, I'll at least be able to open them up without fighting with the CH751 key.
Looking at them, I can agree that the won't get water or dirt in them - there is no hole for it to go through. Pick proof though? Seems like anyone with a magnet could open them. Maybe before spending 23 bucks apiece for them, you could try keeping the current locks lubricate by using powdered graphite to lubricate the lock cylinder.
If you buy them, post back about what you think of them. Good luck
