Best automatic garage door locks for residential doors
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 9, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: LiftMaster 841LM Automatic Garage Door Lock. It's the one most residential setups can actually use: it works with myQ openers, locks itself when the door closes, and reports status in the app, so you're not relying on a manual slide bolt. Check your opener is myQ-compatible before buying.
Who the others suit:
- SureLock Automatic DeadBolt — best if your opener isn't myQ; it works with any opener and keeps a manual release.
- Garage Door Security GD400 full kit — a complete deadbolt kit for a door with no lock hardware at all.
- LiftMaster 041A6102 power lock kit — a direct replacement for a failed LiftMaster/Chamberlain power lock.
- B&D Auto-Lock — only for B&D SDO-6/7/8 openers, and it ships from Australia.
- LiftMaster 1702LM — a manual quick-release lock for vault-style garages, not automatic.
Skip the cheap generic latches: they're manual hardware, not automatic locks.
