[Closed] Garage security - will one of those side bolts fit this door?

My garage doors have a lip where the front panel in the 'channel' that the bolts are supposed to go through. Before I buy the bolts I want to check that it will work - it looks like the lip would interfere with the bolts. What does the STW oracle think?

What side bolts?

Could you not just trim the metal lip with a junior hack saw and a pair of pliers to bend it out of the way?

I'm not sure I'd get a junior hacksaw in there, maybe and dremel (if I had one).
I thought the bolts were all pretty much the same - ones like these:

Edit forget the bit on the wooden post as the hole in the brickwork serves that purpose
