These are great, but at its core these are covered bicycle parking, you chain your bike inside the shelter. The shelter themselves are not locked.
These are perfect for residential and mixed use areas surrounded by low-rise to mid-rise developments, and help keep a bicycle dry and out of the elements. Especially in areas where larger city covered structures might not be as practical.
For example something like this is very common infront a business/commercial building. These provide the same functionality with protection from the elements, organization, and a place to lock your bicycle too.
Now indoor bicycle parking in a city center, take a look at this place in Amsterdam. I was blown away seeing this in person when I had a chance to visit.
Video to see this place I'm more detail.

We have these exact same style of sheds but locked. Spots are rented out by the gemeente and everyone in the shed has a key.
Waitlist is usually on the order of years, unfortunately.
Cool, homeless shelters!
