To open a garage door from the outside, you can use a key-based lock or a keypad if your system is equipped with one. Some doors also have emergency release kits for manual access.

If your garage door has a lock or keypad, you can open it from the outside without needing a remote. For emergencies, an exterior release kit can be installed, allowing you to manually unlock and open the door. This is especially useful during power outages or if your remote malfunctions.
