What type of lock is this?

Hey all,

Found this out the back of the house that I'm renting in university, and just wondering what it's called? It has a circular key entry and I'm wondering if it's feasible (or even possible) to have a key cut for it.

Also, mods, if there is a more suitable forum for this, please feel free to move it there. Just posted here as I thought it might be useful for my bike.

Motorcycle disk lock. A bit useless for a bicycle me thinks

I was thinking of using it with a cable lock. If I was able to use it I could fix it to the spokes close to the fork.

Honestly getting a key cut would be much more expensive

I works on the principle that a motorbike is hard to lift into a van and the wheel can't be easily removed. Neither of which are true of a bicycle.

I was thinking it might. Pity whoever owned it didn't forget the keys along with it.
