How To Open Manually A Garage Door

Garage doors are a convenient way to access your home or business. However, there are times when the power goes out or the door opener malfunctions, and you may need to open the garage door manually. Here are some instructions on how to open a garage door manually.

1. Locate the manual release cord. The manual release cord is usually located in the center of the garage door, hanging from the ceiling. It is typically a red or yellow cord with a handle.

2. Pull the manual release cord downward. This will disengage the garage door from the opener.

3. Lift the garage door manually. Once the door is disengaged from the opener, you can lift it manually by grasping the bottom of the door and pulling it upward. The door may be heavy, so you may need to use both hands or get help from someone else.

4. Close the garage door. Once the door is open, you can close it by pushing it down until it reaches the closed position. Make sure to engage the door opener again by pulling the manual release cord upward.

Here are some additional tips for opening a garage door manually:

* If the manual release cord is not accessible, you may need to use a ladder to reach it.

* If the door is too heavy to lift manually, you can try using a pry bar or a jack to lift it.

* If you are not comfortable opening the garage door manually, you should call a professional for assistance.
