Hi Group,

I have a problem with my garage door lock. It is a conventional up and
over garage door.
However now when I unlock the handle the handle will not turn 90
degrees to the right as it normally does
for moving the bars behind the door. So my guess is the lock part
isn't working.
How can I fix this? It is the only access into the garage. Should I
drill out the lock part of the handle to
release the handle?

It's often possible to just "bounce" the door open. The bolts don't
normally make a very good fit
