I locked myself out of my detached garage. The remote to open it no longer works.
It’s a really old garage and the opener is from 1999.
Trying to lift it obviously doesnt work. There’s an emergency release you can activate with a key, but the keyhole is crammed full of old hard metallic paint that I can’t get out.
Anything else I can do? Or do I have do smash the thing down?
Remove the lock cylinder and touch the two wires together. Replace cylinder.
The objective is to open a garage door, not hotwire a car from 1973.
or a Kia from 2020
So you don’t know how a keyed switch works. Gotcha.
No garage door uses a keyed switch like that, thanks for playing.
Hey, just checking in. Are you still setting the world ablaze with your knowledge? *edit: oh, my bad. I’m proving a point to someone who couldn’t even handle lemmy.
