Garage door lock bolt

I have a fully retractable garage door to which I have put a Liftmaster opener.

The only niggle I have is bottom of door isn't fully secured because of the operating arms and springs - in other word you can pull bottom of door out a few inch's but top is fully secured by electric opener.

What I need is a electric drop bolt to fix centrally on bottom of door with drop bolt facing down - The Lifter has a 12v output on action so the drop bolt needs to be spring loaded to push it into a plate on floor and retracted on operating button.

I have spent a good while on google and found some but they seem to be wrong way round for me - in other words power on to lock - I need power on to retract bolt.

Has anyone seen one or know of something that would do the job.

Thanks

Thanks for looking but I had seen those earlier and they are not suitable - seems I needed gate bolt's.

However the problem has been solved by Garage door man who came to look at my door.

Seems new doors have a fitting worked by action bar of opener that pulls wire which opens two locking bars at base of door.

So new door to be fitted. - At last getting rid of old wonky door
