b) how good the lock barrels are. They look a bit easy to pick (they look easy to rake)
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.

[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.
