If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to open your garage door without power, there are a few steps you can take. First, look along the railing that goes from the opener to the door.
You should see a short piece of rope hanging with a handle on the end. This is the bypass opening handle of the garage door opener. Pulling this handle will allow you to open the door manually. It's important to note that most power outages are relatively brief.
So before you disconnect the garage door opener, make sure that it's absolutely necessary. Once you've disconnected the opener, you should be able to lift the door up manually. However, if it's too heavy or opens unevenly, it may have a broken tension spring or a cable that needs to be repaired. In this case, it's best to call a professional for help.
Before you start opening or closing the garage door manually, make sure that there are no people, pets, or objects that could hinder your journey. At our offices, we specialize in providing quality garage door repair services for residential and commercial customers. Our experienced technicians can help with any issue you may have with your garage door.
