How To Open The Garage Door Manually From The Outside

If your garage door opener is not working, you can still open the door manually from the outside. Here are the steps on how to do it:

Locate the manual release cord. The manual release cord is usually located near the center of the garage door, hanging down from the ceiling. It may be red or yellow.
Pull the manual release cord. Pull the cord down until you hear a click. This will disengage the garage door opener from the door.
Lift the garage door. Once the garage door opener is disengaged, you can lift the door manually by pulling up on the bottom of the door.
Secure the garage door. Once the door is open, you can secure it by locking the deadbolt or using a padlock.

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

If the manual release cord is not accessible, you may be able to open the door by using a screwdriver to pry open the lock mechanism.
If you are having difficulty lifting the door, you can try using a crowbar or a ladder to help you.
Be careful when opening a garage door manually, as the door can be heavy and could fall if not properly supported.

If you are unable to open the garage door manually, you should contact a qualified technician for assistance.
