To date, I've operated as Cabin Crew on B737-200/300/400/500 & 800 types and flown as passenger on -700's: None of them had (or have) anything more sophisticated than a manual Girt Bar mechanism for arm/disarm, with no mechanical linkage. For the reasons that you state above, a red warning strap is often placed over the door viewport after arming. I have never heard of a B737 with such a door mechanism that enables automatic disarming of the manually operated Girt Bar.

I note that you're a volume contributor to PPRuNe, so with great respect...

Do you think it possible that your memory on this one has been affected by a surfeit of Xmas cheer? Has Santa provided too much Succour?
