I was unable to open or close my garage door after manually opening it during power outage. Watching this video was very helpful & I was able to have the door working normal again within a few minutes. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this video. My Dad passed away last year and I'm struggling with this home owner business. I was locked out due to a power outage and I have ONLY used the garage to enter my home since I've lived here. NOW I KNOW THANKS TO YOU.

I wish all KZreadrs can be like this, straight to the point.

I love when someone just get directly to the point. Simple and sweet. Unlike all the rest of the you tubers. It's like they on the shopping Channel.

I found a few KZread videos on how to open an close a garage door manually. This is the best. It's clear, easy, and gets right to the point. I needed to open my garage door about halfway, so I could attach a "bumper" to the inside of the door to protect my car's hatch from contacting the door's lift handle. Applying what I learned here made the job a lot easier.

My spring was broke. Thank you SO MUCH for saying this ahead of time. You just saved me a ton of time!

Thank you so much to share this VDOI. I had big strom and 2 hours rained last night. The first thing in the morning that I found was the remote didn’t work. I unplugged and put it’s back, power off and on nothing happened. My neighbor (Thanks Pat) told me that I can open manually. Search from the YT and found you. Fixed in a minute. Thump up...

Same here power outage right now in North Carolina

OMG!!! Thank you so much. This is the 4 th power outage we’ve had in a month. Had to get my car out of my garage to pick up my dog from daycare. Worked perfectly. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!😊

Thank you quick and easy with bonus for understanding the potential energy stored in the spring

Such a thoughtful approach and video, thank you so much for doing this!

You are awesome!!! Zeta knocked the power out for about 10 hours here in Atlanta and I needed to get the car out. Thank you a ton! :)

Thank you!! This video helped me fix my issue with my garage not closing with the button after manually operating it due to a power outage.

Thank you so much!!!! This video was super helpful 👏

Thank you soooo much! We were so worried that we would be stuck at the airbnb without food, you saved our holiday!

Thank you! I needed this tip this morning.

Thanks brotha 💪🏾 Worked

Excellent clear instructions.

Thanks! Without this video I would never have figured out how to reconnect the automatic opener after manual operation. It was far from obvious... not just a matter of pulling the string and pin back to its original spot. And there were no instructions on the hardware. My garage door didn't even have the safety lock to lock it from the inside. Oh well, hopefully the odds of someone on the outside trying to open the garage the one time that it's openable, are not high. :)

Thank you so much for skipping the pre-amble and getting to the meat of the video asap. Super helpful.

Thank you very much sir and take care!

Perfect video! Very informative!

Thank you very much for your helpful video. It was a great resource during my house's power outage.🎉

Thanks mate! Really helpful.

We knew how to manually open the door but didn’t know how to get it back to where it electronically goes open so I came to KZread and it took seconds to do. I’m not tall enough to use the cord to get it back up so I used my thumb on the metal piece while pulling on the cord and it worked. Ian made things a big mess so it was nice this was easy to fix

You saved my day. Thank you for it.

Very helpful, thank you!

Thank GOD FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY

When exactly do you use the safety lock??

Power went out so pulled the lever to manually open it then spent 40 minutes trying to figure out how to reconnect it once the power came on...... Fixed it in one go after watching this video! Thank you 🙏 my Father woulda killed me 😢😂🎉

Thanks! Just helped my housemate get to work during a power outage.

Thank you for video!!☺️

Yeah, tough week(s) for Texas. Hope you guys are safe and if you want additional help figuring out your garage door opener you could jump over to our Facebook Group "Everyday Home Repairs Community" and post your specific issue with pictures and/or video. Thanks!

Good video because the guy explains about how the torsion springs actually do most of the lifting of the garage door for you (and the opener) and how if one or both of the springs has an obvious break in it, then it may be Very hard, if not impossible for you to lift the garage door by yourself. However, I think what he showed from 1:34-1:38 in the video can be Very dangerous. In the video, he shows locking the garage door with the manual "safety lock" after you have manually opened your garage door, gotten your vehicle out, and then closed the garage door manually. However, in the narration it Sounds like he said, "I wouldn't use the safety lock..." yet the video shows him doing exactly that! Here's a word of advice and warning to the wise - if you manually lock your garage door with that safety lock, and then try to re-engage the overhead trolley when the power is back on, what do you think is going to happen? Your garage door is still manually locked (notice that the video never says to unlock that safety lock) and the powered-on garage door opener is now going to struggle trying to lift a manually-locked garage door!! Nothing good's going to come out of that. Always remember to manually unlock the safety lock Before re-engaging the overhead trolley!!

God bless you for this quick and easy video 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thank you

What do you do if your Torsion Springs are busted????

I figured this out myself years ago when there was a power outage, but because of what's going on in Texas I want to link this video for those who can't wait fifteen minutes figuring it out themselves in the dark.

Thanks!

Thank you sir, very useful content and you just ruined one of my excuses to call in at work :).

What if the coils springs what ever they are is broken?

Thank you!! Power just went out in the entire neighborhood and for a sec I thought I was stuck in the house. I tried to pull the string but nothing happened. Turns out I wasn’t pulling hard enough.

Thanks. Question to anybody that can help. The metal chain is off and hanging because the piece that holds it on top of motor broke. Can I still open it manually without the chain connected? I tried but it doesn't desengage and is extremelly heavy. Please advise.

Many thanks 👍🏽✌🏾

thanks

Lmao you saved me. Out of curiosity I pulled the string and realized it can be opened with bare hands, and could not fix it so I thought I'd be in great trouble 😅

Thanks bud!

I'm doing this to fix my garage door. However, when I go to lift it manually it smacks up against the metal black bar that the slide is on and I can't lift it any farther or get it to fold up like usual to slide along the track I've checked the rails and everything seems to be aligned properly it's just that the garage door smacks up against the bar. Does anyone know why this is? By the way I'm needing to do this as the previous springs broke from old age (~20yrs) and I'm now replacing them. I need to lift the garage door manually to get the one end of the new springs over the metal hoop at the end of the rail Please advise. Thanks!

Solid video, had to sneak my gf into the house didn’t know how to re lock the garage door. Very informative and straightforward

Hurricane Ian left me with me with no power, thank you for this video.

Thanks good to know. If the power goes out I know what to do.

How do you get in if you're on the outside?

Now I’m wondering what’s wrong with it. Could I fix it myself? There is no light at the box. We just paid $600 for a new spring a few months ago.

But how do you re-engage without power? Anybody can open it outside if I leave.

Usually the garage door has a little lever you can push through the side track to lock the door in place and ensure you can't open the door from the outside when disengaged from the track.

I’ve been able to open my door manually, but it won’t stay up. Any advice?

Thankyou!!!!

But if they don't have the red handle?

Thanks for not yakking endlessly and waving your arms and playing music

What happens if doesn't reengage? I tried reengaging it but it won't stay in place.

1:35 what does that do?
