Setting garage door to manually opening.

Consult it first before tinkering with your door. If the door simply stops short of the floor the likely culprit is the down limit switch. Keep your owner s manual on hand. Many electronic garage doors come with a bypass switch allowing you to override the system and manually lift it open when needed.

Keep the rollers and chain lubricated on your garage door. Place a stepladder beneath the box portion of the garage door opener. To locate the bypass switch look for a red rope hanging down from your garage mechanisms. To reattach your garage door to opener system you ll pull the emergency release cord down and towards the opener.

Have a helper steady the ladder. To reset it begin by pulling the cord in the opposite direction. To manually open most garage doors you simply pull a corded handle that is attached to the door. This emergency release cord will be attached to the trolley in the center of the garage door.

This disengages the electric drive from the door and you can manually open and close it.
