[Garage door bolts]
Yeah I don’t know why they’ve fitted it like that, or why they’ve used such a shit padlock. That picture was off a security site so you’d think they’d know better.
On my old garage door, there was about 3cm of frame in front of the bolt hole and I used padlocks with shrouded clasps so you couldn’t get croppers on them. Overkill, maybe, but mine was the only garage in the block that didn’t get done over.
In principle I quite like those ones you linked to. It’s going to be a question of a) whether it’ll fit and b) how good the lock barrels are. They look a bit easy to pick (they look easy to rake). I normally try to have two different types of lock to protect against pick attacks as well as two shapes of padlock for crop or cut attacks.

It's a X profile key. Whether there's pins on more than one side or even all 4 sides, I don't know. If there's any spool pins or a strong spring in there, they could be fairly difficult.
A brand new Ultion cylinder is by far my easiest open. I bought one with a view to stocking them for work. Within 10mins of the postie dropping it off, both ends clockwise and counter.

There's not exactly much wood left to stop that being pulled open. Or protection for the padlock if it was set vertical into the concrete
