Repair a Garage Door Once the Emergency Pull Has Been Released

Stuck outside? Here are some steps to help you fix your garage door.

Steps

Run the electric opener as you would normally.
Watch where the emergency pull comes into contact with the door opener chain. There should be a small hole made for the lock to snap back in.
Push the lock when it is lined up with the hole.
Test the door to make sure it works.

Be aware that if there is a problem with the door's balance or something else is causing the door not to run smoothly, that reattaching the operator to the door could damage either the door or the operator or even both. If you suspect something is wrong and the door doesn't sound normal, then call your local authorized garage door dealer.
