That comment about taking it off and figuring out why it went on was not lost on me......
Put c-clamps inside the rails and outside. I have a short piece of logging chain with hooks on each end that does the job too.

henryazOur doors that have the closure slide, have a hole in them. I use a small carabiner in the hole to prevent accidentally locking the door when it would be a bad idea, and this easily allows me to lock the door manually when (in rare circumstances) it is necessary.

PHPaulSapper Steel, just wanted to let you know I'm sitting here with tears running down my cheeks from laughing so hard.
The best part is, it is absolutely, unquestionably true...

KurtZ66When we moved in to our current house, we had some work done on the garage doors and openers. The service guy explained that he was required to disable the locks, not sure if by company policy or local code. He said if I wanted to re-install them after he left, I was free to do so. He actually loosened the lock, swung it down to the vertical position to disengage and re-tightened the unit. Looks like that screw through the bolt accomplishes the same thing.
A quick Google search resulted in this:

XLTlooks like 4 circles with a sharpie, little bit of lacquer thinner and it should wipe right off.

Lefty loosey, righty tighty.
The bolt head looks to be in good shape. Hmm.
