hopefully, the door hasn't been installed yet, but if it has. Dissengauge the garage door opener from the door, ( usually accomplished by pulling the red cord hanging from the operator). the door should move freely by hand. Unplug or cut the power to the opener for safety. You'll need something to stand on to be able to reach the top portion of your door. you'll need a sharp utillity knife. A friend could come in handy also. Lift the door by hand enough so that the top panel of the door tilts inward away from the door openning. It's a small working area but unfortunately all you have. have a friend steady the door in this position or use some vice grips on the door track to wedge the door in this position. Lightly score the left and right edges of cellophane with the knife trying not to cut into the paint and peel away. Hurry with this project, if left to long, the sun may permanently bake the cellophane on your new door. This cellophane should have been removed during the original door install. Check with your door contractor and question why this wasn't done. chances are they'll say to protect the door during construction or painting. All door manufacterers recommend that this film be removed prior to installation. My opinion: make the contractor take it off

How does operating remote garage door opener when door is locked affect garage door opener?
If you have a garage door that has a lock engaged and you try to use an opener to get the door to go up, the motor (opener) will still try to engage and move the door into the up position. The motor and the lock will be fighting against each other and could damage your door. It could also damage the lock. If you have an opener on your garage it is always best to remove the lock. A garage door opener acts as a lock on it's own so it's unnecessary to have both.

How do you remove code on garage door selling car?
You remove the code from the vehicle by holding down (up technically) on the first and third buttons, simultaneously. Watch for the light to change from solid to flashing after 1 min. However, in removing the code from the garage door opener mounted in the ceiling of the garage, you will need the original "clicker". With clicker in hand, you hold down on the setting button on the garage door receiver while also holding down on the "clicker" button. The garage door receiver light should flash several times to acknowledge the code. Test by using the clicker to open and close the garage door. Yours- Sarah Lee aka Mycarlady
