Opening Your Garage Door Manually

In the event of a power outage or a malfunctioning garage door opener, you'll need to open your garage door manually. Here's how:

  1. Disengage the Opener: Locate the Emergency%20Release%20Cord. This is usually a red cord hanging from the garage door opener track. Pull this cord down firmly. This disengages the opener carriage from the door, allowing you to operate it manually. You might hear a click.

  2. Lift the Door: Once disengaged, you should be able to lift the garage door Manually. Use both hands and lift from a comfortable height.

  3. Ensure it Stays Open: Garage doors are heavy, so be careful. If the door is properly balanced, it should stay open on its own. However, if the Springs are damaged or not working correctly, the door might slam shut. In this case, have someone hold the door open or brace it securely before walking underneath.

  4. Re-engaging the Opener: Once power is restored or the opener is fixed, you'll want to re-engage the opener. To do this, pull the emergency release cord again to reconnect carriage. You may need to manually move the door until it connects. Once connected you can use your remote.

Important Safety Considerations:

  • Balanced Door: A garage door that is difficult to lift or slams shut is a sign of a problem with the Door%20Springs. Do not attempt to repair these yourself; call a qualified technician.
  • Clear Path: Make sure there are no obstructions (people, pets, objects) in the path of the door before opening or closing it manually.
  • Gradual Opening: Lift the door slowly and deliberately.
  • If in Doubt: If you're unsure about any step of the process, consult your garage door opener's manual or contact a professional.
