Re: Garage door manual operatio
As Eric said, you do not want any locking device in a garage door that has an automatic opener attached to it.

No handles are required. The door can be moved upward by disconnecting the drive and pushing up on one of the sections.

If the door is difficult to move upward after it has been disconnected from the drive, the door is most likely out of balance and it needs repair. Out of balance garage doors are very common.
