ABSTRACT:
A lock for use with a garage door having an automatic garage door opener attached thereto includes a housing which attaches to the garage door. A bracket attaches to the inside of the garage and is positioned such that the housing and the bracket are in close proximity to each other when the garage door is closed. An element is movably mounted on the housing to move between a locked and unlocked position. The automatic garage door opener attaches to the element and is capable of moving both the element between its locked and unlocked positions and moving the garage door via motion imparted to the door via the housing and the element. When the garage door is closed and the element is moved from its unlocked to its locked position the garage door is securely locked against being opened by an outside influence. An element positioning member is associated with the element and functions with the element such that when the garage door is closed and locked and the automatic garage door opener is activated, the automatic garage door opener first moves the element from its locked to its unlocked position and in further movement moves the garage from its closed to its open position. Upon reversal, the automatic garage door opener first moves the garage door from its open to its closed position and then subsequently moves the element from its unlocked to its locked position such that the element interacts with the bracket means to securely lock the garage door.
