The QF procedure also works on the B767.

The only variation to this procedure is for the 737... the crew "crack" the door to show the ground staff that the girt bar is disengaged and the ground crew then continue door opening.

*If* the door happens to be armed, cracking the door ensures the slide pack does not have the space to actually drop and thus deploy, giving the crew member the chance to close the door again.

Always found this procedure to be the most sensible & logical way of doing things, especially when bone tired after a BOC flight.
