Garage Door Emergency Release Feature
All garage doors manufactured after 1992 are required by US federal law to be equipped with emergency release feature. 
To make the emergency release handle easily accessible and handy, it is required to be:
- Red in color
- Stand out from the rest of the garage opener system
- No higher than 6 feet above the garage floor.
Garage door is a heavy piece of machine that is composed of many interconnected movable parts such as garage door torsion springs, safety cables, rollers etc. Daily use and extreme weather conditions may cause wear and tear to any or all of these parts. Neglecting the health of your garage door system may result in snapping of these parts causing the door to come crashing down with unimaginable, brutal force with a potential to cause fatal injuries. Being aware of the safety features such as emergency release feature, auto reverse safety mechanism and supplemental auto reverse feature such as photoelectric sensors or photo eyes is extremely important. Keep an eye of the emergency release cord of your garage door and test it monthly to make sure it is working when you need to operate the door manually in the event of any emergency.
