He could also go in another door and release the drive lock and then open
the garage door manually.

I agree. I use a wireless keypad unit.

If the OP is really worried about being locked out, he could put a key
inside a false rock for a few dollars. The false rock is available at
Amazon, as is the keypad. He could also install two wireless garage door
openers. They are cheap enough, and having two virtually gurantess the
batteries will be good in one of them.

I've never had the batteries go bad in mine, and it has been installed
since 2003. Maybe I'll splurge and do it.
