If the remote battery goes dead, how do I get the garage door open to get my car?

You should always have an emergency door lock installed to that door for back up. costs about 35$ plus installation. Unless you have a power generator.

you need to have an alternate entry to get inside your home to operate the control panel or to operate the door manually. otherwise you need to have spare batteries in your car.

You would use the included wall switch. If there is no entry to your garage except for the garage door, then you should buy an external key pad add on to ensure you have access even without a remote.

If the remote is dead you should open it with the opener in the garage. If the power is out the battery backup should kick in. If that's dead there is a manual release you pull and then you can just raise it yourself.

There's no way to get in without a key if the battery is dead. Hide a spare key outside somewhere (backyard?) under a rock or using one of those hide-a-spare-key fake rocks.

Detach the garage door by pulling that piece of rope by the railing. And then use your remote or wired switch to open. If it dont I assumed that is your logic board.

Sorry but I can't answer this one. My problem was that remotes would not open the door from outside. I had to be inside garage about 4 feet from opener for it to work. I thought I was having remote controller problems but it actually was the main circuit board. Bought a new circuit board from Amazon and problem was solved.

The battery is in the bottom of the remote. Pull off cover and push battery in and up it should slide out. If your battery is swollen, a common problem, use duct tape. Attach the duct tape to battery and pull. You will need to get as much duct tape on the swollen battery as possible.

Its easy... the body of the remote housing is split.Hold the top part right under the HOME button and the red power button. Then pull the long part and it slides open to give access to the battery

however you have to have a battery backup compatible opener for the battery to work.....

I've got mine with a battery. It might be not in the remote, try to find it in the box, if not then contact a seller

You might try reprogramming your remote to your garage opener! We have not experienced locking out! It's worth a try! Good luck

There is an external battery pack that connects from outside in case the batteries die. The small cap below the keypad unscrews to provide access to the keyhole (so you can also open the door manually with a key if necessary).

1.Open a door. 2.Turn the key to the ON position. 3.Within in 5 seconds press and release the Valet/Program button, and then press and Hold.(If the installer didn't install the Valet/Program button, which they should have, this won't work.) 4.The LED flashes one time and the siren (if connected) chirps to confirm the vehicle is ready for remote learning. Continue holding. 5.Press and release the lock button on the remote control.

It's very likely the opener. You may want to check the reflector/safety mechanism if there is one, and make sure it's aligned properly. To make sure it's not the remote you could try removing the batteries and not using it for some time, instead using (assuming you have one) they key pad.

You should be able to just twist the device to the right to loosen it from the mounting plate. Unplug the line to the hard wiring, and then you will be able to access the battery compartment.

Use a eyeglass screwdriver or something similar and insert it into the notch on the bottom front the remote. Gently pry it open to access the batteries.

google your car make and model and the number on the back of the remote. there are more ways than one to do this. if you can't get it at all, call around for a key smith, or lock smith. they can do the same thing the dealer can do and charge you much less. gl

The problem in replacing the old battery is how to remove it from the tight compartment. I finally stuck a fly swatter under the old battery to lift it enough to get above the edge of the compartment. I could the disconnect the wires and slide the new one in easily. If the beeping is annoying you before you can buy a new battery, you can remove the old battery. The opener will work on electricity from the plug just fine so long as you don't lose power.

You have to use the remote to open and close. Let say u left it open when u shut off your car last night , when u start the car this morning it remains open
