Garage door locking apparatus

A garage door locking apparatus directed to secure a garage door within a garage door opening from a first position spacing the garage door from the garage door opening to a second position directing the garage door within the garage door opening, with a motorized opener having a track, and the track including a track carriage, and the garage door including a first side spaced from a second side and a first end spaced from a second end, and wherein the apparatus comprises,

• a door connector assembly directed between the track carriage and the garage door, and
• wherein a first pulley and a second pulley are mounted to opposed sides of the door connector assembly, and a third pulley and a fourth pulley are mounted to respective door first and second sides in adjacency to the first end, and
• a first latch assembly is mounted to the door adjacent the first side and the second end, and a second latch assembly is mounted to the door adjacent the door second side and the door second end, and
• a first cable directed from the door connector assembly along the first pulley and the third pulley to the first latch assembly, and a second cable directed from the door connector assembly along the second pulley and the fourth pulley to the second latch assembly, whereupon displacement of the track carriage from the second position separates the first latch assembly and the second latch assembly from an engaged relationship to a door floor adjacent the garage door opening, and
• the door connector assembly includes a door mounting boss fixedly mounted to the door between the first pulley and the second pulley, and the door mounting boss having a boss axle, and a first door tube and a second door tube spaced from the first door tube in a coaxially aligned relationship, and a connecting web connecting the first door tube to the second door tube, and the first door tube including a mounting flange coaxially aligned with the first door tube and the second door tube, and the mounting flange including a flange aperture, and the flange aperture mounted to the door mounting boss and the boss axle, and the second door tube having an entrance end and an exit end, with the exit end positioned intermediate the first door tube and the second door tube, and a first alignment ring mounted to the entrance end and a second alignment ring mounted to the exit end, and a slide rod slidably directed through the first alignment ring and the second alignment ring, and the slide rod coaxially aligned with the first door tube and the second door tube received within the second door tube, and the slide rod having a first abutment in engagement with the entrance end from the first position, and a second abutment positioned in engagement with the second door tube in the first position, and the second abutment in contiguous communication with the exit end of the second door tube in the second position.
