Garage Door Dilemma-Help!

Hey Guys & Gals: I have an outside garage with a big problem. The only access to the garage is via the overhead door; no window, door, nada. For some unknown reason, the electric door opener won't operate either from the remote or the keypad so I'm locked out. I've tried changing the remote batteries which was no help.

I would prefer to not damage the door or knock a hole in the block wall contruction...any other ideas? If, however, those are my only options, I would appreciate suggestions for someone to do the work.

Hopefully someone else has been through this dilemma and share some good old Mexican or Gringo solution.

Pull on the red cord and open the door that way for now.

Reset the garage opener or pick the red cord from the outside.

Thanks, but the problem is that I am trapped outside, not inside, so the red cord isn't accessible nor is the reset button. Penquin: what kind of work does Ivan Gurrola do?

You have internet access. Google the door opener. T8he key will let you reset it. Read the manual online to do it. I have done the same for my daughter in scottsdale.

Oops it's the key pad reset option.

Watch this on you tube.

Your door is not very secure.

I have had to open my garage like this. It is really easy

Thanks, Rick, I'll try the 6 second break in method. Hopefully it works on a metal door.

He installs and repairs garage doors. Does good work.

I also have a garage door that will not open. No window or man door, only access is through the metal roll up door. No electric opener. It seems that the cable or metal rod on one side of the t-handle broke or came off. Any ideas?

If it's metal....a cutting torch works great!!

Thaks, Penquin; I will call Ivan. Sounds like a good guy to know. Does he speak English?

Does he install electric garage door openers? I have a new one in the box that I need installed.

I started this thread a while back due to a problem getting into a storage unit with only the overhead door as the point of access. Based on Mondone's recommendation, I called Ivan and, though a difficult task, he kept at it until he came up with a solution short of knocking a hole in a wall. This guy is a professional, speaks great English and offers fair prices; I'm a fan!
