5.0 out of 5 stars In case of Power Loss..., November 5, 2010

As my garage has no service door, the loss of power makes my electric garage door opener useless. How does one get in? This emergency release kit makes it possible to enter the garage without issue. A simple cable pulls the door release, allowing the door to be manually lifted. This cable is protected from unauthorized entry by a key lock.
Simple to install, and inexpensive, this little piece of insurance allows easy access in case of a power failure, or garage door opener malfunction. I recommend this item to anyone who owns a garage like mine.

This is a must have for any electric opened garage that does not have entry by separate door and is fast to install. In the event of a planned or unplanned power outage you can still get in.

Received product in the expected amount of time. The only slight issue I have is the photo they show is not what you will be getting. The photo shows a type of key that is usually thought as being a slightly higher security type of lock. The unit received has the basic type of low security key lock. Another issue I have is that I ordered two of them and when both arrived they both used the same key. Once again not a very good purchase if you need several for garage doors that belong to different, adjacent, tennants of two or more condos with detached garages. I have a feeling that all of the units sold are the same key.
