Universal Garage Door Emergency Key Cable Disconnect is an essential accessory for homeowners with garages lacking alternative entry points, such as side or back doors. In situations where the garage door is the sole means of access, this kit ensures you can manually operate your garage door during power outages or opener malfunctions.
Key Features:
- Universal Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with all residential chain drive, belt drive, and screw drive garage door openers, including models from Genie, Sears, LiftMaster, Challenger, Chamberlain, Wayne Dalton, Allstar, and Linear.
- Comprehensive Kit: The package includes a lock with cable, two keys, mounting bolts, and detailed installation instructions, providing everything needed for a straightforward setup.
- Enhanced Security: Installing this disconnect kit gives you an external method to disengage your garage door opener's trolley, allowing for manual door operation when electronic systems are non-functional. This is especially important for "vaulted" garages where the garage door is the only entry.
