How to Disengage Garage Door Openers for Year-Round Efficiency
Why You Might Need to Disengage Your Garage Door Opener
You may need to disengage your garage door opener in certain situations to keep it working safely. For instance, during a power outage, disconnecting the opener allows you to open and close the door manually, avoiding the risk of being locked inside or outside. If the opener is not working correctly, disengaging it can also prevent further damage to the door and the opener itself. Practicing this process occasionally can also help you stay prepared for emergencies. Knowing how and when to safely disengage the opener provides confidence that you can control your garage door in any situation.
