To manually lock a garage door, use the built-in locking handle or install a slide lock. This will secure the door in place and prevent it from being opened from the outside.

Manually locking a garage door provides additional security when the automatic opener isn’t in use or during power outages. Slide locks are a simple and effective way to prevent forced entry. Ensuring your door has a functioning manual lock adds a layer of security to protect your home or valuables.
