A Few Things Homeowners Need to Know Before an Emergency Happens.
Understand your opener’s safety features.
Newer garage door openers must have a safety release device and a red cord hanging down the track. Pull the red emergency cord to disengage the release lever on the garage door opener carriage. And now you can lift the garage door until it is open.
Pulling the release cord and manually opening the garage door can be challenging for the elderly or people with disabilities, so having a garage door opener with battery backup can be helpful. We recommend testing this safety feature before an emergency to ensure you can manually disconnect and open your garage door.
Know when the operator’s battery is running down.
Manufacturers may use different signals to help homeowners understand when these systems function correctly. Just like your fire alarms, recognize and know the color of the LED lights or whether they are flashing or making a beeping sound every few seconds to 30 seconds.
Learn how to replace your battery.
Even though battery backup systems work without electricity, homeowners must replace the batteries every 1-2 years or more frequently, depending on opener usage and environmental conditions. If your battery system shows a red LED light, it might be time to replace it. For more information, please call us at +1 (858) 547-3600.
