Another thing about the 767 is that if opened in automatic, they cannot be closed again, which could be dangerous. Say if some passenger, in an evacuation, opened the door in a panic and there was smoke or fire outside, once opened, you wouldn't be able to close it again due to the counter balance used to open it.

I think the same applies to the L1011 and DC10/MD11 but don't quote me on it.
