INSTALLATION STEP 3

Install Power Door Lock

The lock is used to prevent the garage door from
being manually opened once the door is fully
closed.

1. Select a door roller to mount the lock above.

Check for clearance. If possible select a roller on
the same side of the door as the motor unit. The
second roller up from the bottom is ideal in most
installations.

2. Ensure rail surface is clean and adhere lock

template to achieve a 3" (7.6 cm) distance
between the center of the roller and the pin hole
(Figure 1).

3. Drill holes as marked on the template.

4. Fasten power door lock to the outside of the garage

door track with hardware provided.

5. Run bell wire up wall to motor unit. Use insulated

staples to secure wire in several places.

6. Plug connector into the motor unit (Figure 2).

NOTE:

Lock must be mounted within 10' of the power

head.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling
garage door:
• If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage door

ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken springs
or unbalanced door could result in an open door falling
rapidly and/or unexpectedly.

• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage

doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.

INSTALLATION STEP 2

Attach the Emergency Release Rope
and Handle

• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the top

of the red handle so “NOTICE” reads right side up as
shown. Secure with an overhand knot at least 1" 
(2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to prevent slipping.

• Thread the other end of the rope through the loop in the

emergency release cable.

• Adjust rope length so the handle is no higher than 6'

(1.83 m) above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.

NOTE: 

If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut

end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.
