Powered garage doors? - there's a novel idea!
How do you get the car out when there is a power cut?

Thanks for the thought, but the garage is completely my domain.  No-one else
goes there.

Also, it's not like the door fell down.  It powered down.  I opened it; had
time to go in, crabwalk to the back of the car; push it halfway out; go
back; grab the stepladder; and then I heard the sound of the door starting
to close ...  If I had been smarter, I would have pulled the plug instead of
the ( what I think is ) the emergency stop cord, but it happened so fast ...

You might want to rig something safer until you replace the door.

The door is fine.  It is an old heavy wood double door.  The opener seems to
be malfunctioning or getting stray signals that are interfering with it.  It
is an old Stanley chain drive.

What is the electric eye system?  The car was halfway out, so an "eye"
slightly above floor level wouldn't have done any good. ( I just answered my
own question, didn't I?  Mount it higher. ))

I'll check that out.
Thnaks!
