Every garage door opener comes with a disconnect switch in case you lose power. This allows you to open or close the door manually so your car isn\u2019t stuck in the garage until the power comes back on.<br \/>\nThis switch is usually attached to a rope that can be pulled or a knob that can be turned to disconnect. Sometimes, this switch can accidentally come unhooked causing the door to be disconnected from the motor.<br \/>\nHowever, if you lose power and use the disconnect switch, you\u2019ll need to reattach it to use your garage door motor to open and close your door again. Open the door all the way and then reattach this hook. Then try opening or closing the door again with your transmitter, and you should be all set. It will be easiest to reattach this hook when your car is not in the garage, as you\u2019ll need to place a step ladder underneath the motor to reach it.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAt <a href=\"https:\/\/riteawaygaragedoors.com\/\">Rite A Way Garage Doors and Gates<\/a>, we know the ins-and-outs of residential <a href=\"https:\/\/riteawaygaragedoors.com\/garage-door-replacement\/\">garage door repair<\/a>, and we can help you diagnose and repair any garage door issue.
