First world problem and asking for a friend ...

How would one open an electric roller garage door from the outside when the only remote control for it has been lost?

Can't even find the supplier details as they're written on the box inside the garage.

Any advice that doesn't involve a crowbar would be appreciated.

No non destructive way from the outside, that I can think of. If you can somehow gain access to inside, just disable the electric motor via pull cord, should then be able to move door by hand. Let us know the outcome.

Silly question maybe but does it have a button on the motor??

Mine does anyway and that's the only electric garage door I know anything about!

Let this be a warning to us all! Thankfully I have a normal door into the garage too.

Is there not a brand logo of some description on the outside of the door which you could use to get contact details of the local supplier. They are bound to have a universal remote.

Is there a window into the garage that you can jam open?

Knock down the wall with a sledge hammer to gain access to the inside.

Electric grinder, do door insert and put hinges on it!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

There is the one that Tommy from some TV show advertises. It must be good.
