Modern automatic garage doors feature a manual emergency override system, meaning you can still access your garage space during a power cut or in case of motor failure. There are various systems available, such as:
Release mechanism fitted to the garage door handle – for up and over, side hinged, and sectional type doors
Release mechanism fitted via a key barrel in the door panel – for doors with a solid panel structure
External low-level winding handle access point – for insulated roller garage doors when there is no other door into the garage
High-level external winding handle access point – for roller garage doors where the entire door is fitted externally and the winding mechanism for the manual override is accessible from outside
Battery backup system – for all garage door types
