What Is a Garage Lockout?
A garage lockout occurs when you are unable to open your garage door using your usual methods—whether from outside, inside, or both.
This can happen in a wide range of scenarios:
The opener doesn’t respond to the remote, keypad, or wall button
You’ve lost your remote and have no manual key backup
The garage door is manually locked and you don’t have the key
A power outage prevents smart or electric opener function
The door is frozen or jammed shut from weather conditions
A manual release was accidentally engaged, locking you out
You’re locked out of the home entirely, and the garage is the only entry
Keypad code was changed, and you don’t have the updated access
Spring or cable failure disables door movement from outside
Smart garage app or WiFi connection is down, locking you out remotely
Whatever the cause, our technicians have the tools, training, and experience to get you back in safely—and quickly.

Children, pets, or elderly family members may be inside without access

Why Garage Door Lockouts Happen
Garage door systems are designed to be convenient—but they depend on a complex mix of mechanical and digital components that can fail unexpectedly.
Here are the most common causes of lockouts:
Mechanical Failures:
Rusted or jammed manual locks
Seized rollers or misaligned tracks
Broken torsion or extension springs
Snapped cables preventing door lift
Disconnected release rope
Electrical or Smart Technology Failures:
Power outage with no backup
Remote control battery failure
Opener circuit board malfunction
WiFi or app disconnect
Keypad failure or forgotten code
User Errors or Accidents:
Keys locked inside
Manual lock accidentally engaged
Attempted force causing jamming
Damaged remote from impact or moisture
Locking house and forgetting garage is only entry
