Can the garage door be opened if there is a power failure?
Yes. For safety reasons, residents should only do so if they are familiar with the operations of the garage door motor. First, shut off the power to the opener, then go outside and unlock the padlock using your resident key, pull the small chain down and latch it in the metal slot on the wall to engage the manual chain, then using the large chain open the door. Make sure you open the door fully so that a car exiting the garage does not hit the door. Once the door is open, release the small chain and turn the power switch back on to the opener. Be sure you lock the padlock so it is not lost.
