B737ng Gear Access Door

Hi,
Our FCOM says this about the Manual Extension Access Door:

Open – • manual landing gear extension is possible with landing gear lever in any position
• normal landing gear extension is still possible if hydraulic system A pressure is available
• landing gear retraction is disabled.
Closed – landing gear operate normally
Does anyone know how the opening of this door disable's retraction?
I am picturing a scenario where the aircraft gets airborne with said door open and I am not sure if the landing gear lever will move as normal ( ie does the door work through the lever-lock).
Any help appreciated,
Cheers
