On the jumbo I think the SOP for smoke is to crack the L4 door slightly so the gates have folded in and then tie the handle to stop it rotating further round, yes I couldn't believe it when I first heard it but there's a bit of string in the overhead locker in its own dedicated pouch.

As for the flight locks, yes the upper deck emergency exits have one each that locks the handle once the nose gear is off the deck.
