Re: Enter/exit through attached garage

Just to remind everyone: if your garage door is installed as designed, it has a rope hanging down that allows the track to be disengaged, so the door can be lifted manually in case of power outage.

Fire trucks carry a slimjim-like tool that slips between the panels and hooks the rope, allowing firefighters to pull it and disengage the opener. And just like opening car doors with a slimjim, firefighters are not the only ones who know this trick.

If you're leaving for an extended period, close the door and engage the manual locks so that it can't be opened except from the inside, then leave via another door.
