a lock involves a locking rotating knob that inserts attached rods into slots in the rails.

Garage doors with automatic openers do not have locks otherwise the opening functions is defeated.

The mecanism itself is the lock.

Unlocking that involves pulling the red rope from inside.

There are several ways you can do it, all require the right knowledge, experience and tools. You can either lock the bottom like most commercial roll up doors in stores do, or drill a hole in your track in order to set a lock above one of the rollers.
However, I strongly recommend you call a professional in order to avoid any damage to the door and the system.
Good luck!

How does operating remote garage door opener when door is locked affect garage door opener?

If you have a garage door that has a lock engaged and you try to use an opener to get the door to go up, the motor (opener) will still try to engage and move the door into the up position. The motor and the lock will be fighting against each other and could damage your door. It could also damage the lock. If you have an opener on your garage it is always best to remove the lock. A garage door opener acts as a lock on it's own so it's unnecessary to have both.

Is a landlord in California required to provide a tenant with a door to a garage?

I'm no lawyer but... The simplest answer is no. If it had no door when you agreed to rent it, then you can't expect him to improve it after you sign. If it had one but it fell off, then he must repair it. If there is a door from garage to house that has no lock on it, then you may be in a position to demand either a lock on that door or a door on the garage.
