lock for side hung garage doors

[nafuk]

Please can someone suggest a lock for my wooden side hung garage doors. Not yet installed. I want to be able to open them from the inside and outside. Would a sash lock be suitable together with some monkey tail bolts e.g. toolstation.com product 67060. Thank you

if you can bolt one door securely top and bottom and the doors are in good condition, then you could use two mortice deadlocks.

Whatever you do, always install at least two forms of locking, it makes a tremendous difference to the chance of a cleftie trying to break in.

Basically, yes. Personally, from Screwfix:

86871 + 92861 + 52899 + 23987 + 2 off 17201.

Although a larger version of 17201 would be useful.

If you want high security, you may need something more sophisticated, though.
