Garage door instructions for guests (template)

Opening and closing

• Remote: [Remote location]. Press once to open, once to close, and once to stop it part way.
• Inside button: [Wall button location].
• Outside keypad: [Keypad location]. Code: [Garage code].
• Please watch the door until it's fully closed.

Parking

• Your space is [Which space]. [Parking guide, e.g. pull in until the hanging ball touches the windshield].
• Clearance is [Height]. Please take roof boxes and bikes off the roof first.
• Please close the garage door when you leave and at night.

Safety

• Keep children, pets and people clear while the door moves. Please don't walk under a closing door, and keep the remote away from children.
• The two sensors near the floor at [Sensor location] stop the door if something is in the way. Keep them clear.
• Never run a car, generator, barbecue or heater in the garage, even with the door open. Carbon monoxide builds up fast.
• Please don't pull the red emergency release cord unless we ask you to. The door can drop suddenly.

Power outage

The opener won't work without power. [Outage plan, e.g. use the side door at Side door location, and call us if you need the car out].

If something goes wrong

• The door goes down, then back up: something is blocking the sensors, or one is knocked out of line. Clear the path, check both sensor lights are on, and try again.
• It grinds, shakes or a spring looks broken: stop using it and call [Host name] at [Host phone].
• The remote doesn't work: try the wall button. Spare batteries are in [Battery location].
