Gear downlock override.

Does anyone have opinion on the use of the downlock override mechanism present on most A/C? I can't find mention of it in any QRH or normal procedures.

My question is- would it be prudent to use if the landing gear did not want to retract? Or only in an engine-out situation. My thinking is to return to land, leaving it down rather than risk further gear problems forcing it up.

Thanks-
