When leaving on long vacations I put a padlock on the tracks like your second photo and disconnect the power to the opener for just that reason. Can't imagine using these things in the day to day (unless the door between the garage and house is at the front of the garage next to the garage door).

My installer did the same. I have to purposely remove the bolt and nut to use the lock.
I too only use it on vacation. I throw the bolts and also throw the breaker for the garage door openers.
