Automatic garage doors are extremely practical. You can easily open the garage from your car by remote control. The only annoyance is that if you misplace the remote control, how do you get into the garage?

 

An automatic garage can be opened without remote control via the keypad mounted in the wall. Almost all electronically opening garages have a box built into the wall with a keypad where you can manually enter a security code.

 

First you have to locate the keypad. It is usually located directly next to the garage door and is covered with a plastic lid. You have to enter your personal security code (usually 4 digits) into the keypad. Once the correct number has been entered and 'Enter' pressed if necessary, the door will open. As long as the remote control is missing, you have to enter the garage using the keypad.

 

If the remote control is lost, you should contact the seller of the garage door, because whoever finds the remote control can open the garage without hindrance.
