this new motorised roller shutter doesn't seem to have a lock...is that OK ?

Are you talking garage door? If so, nor does mine. It relies on it not
being possible to raise it other than by coiling it back up onto its
axle, either electrically using the remote controller or with the hand
crank inside the garage if the electrics should fail. I asked about
security before I had it installed, and the guy said it was very
secure (BHWSTWH).
Out of curiosity - what happens if you're not in the garage, the power
fails with the door closed, and you have no other entrance into the
garage?


Not really any different to any (garage) door where the lock fails, save
you just have to wait for the power cut to end rather than get more
creative. Having helped several neighbours over the years with garage door
issues, waiting for a power cut to end could be the better option.

We have a secondary door so it isnt an issue but it was something I
thought of. The roller doors are quite hard to wind up by hand, at least
the double ones. Trying to (somehow) push one up so it winds must be all
but impossible. You could smash it open but that is true of any almost
door.
