Can family members open and close the door without using a transmitter? |
To open and close the door manually after some
manufacturers door operators are installed you are forcing the door
operator to reverse gear. Reverse gear is the same as pushing a car when
it is park. This will damage the operators transmission. This adds
resistance to the door movement for the user and one manufacturer states
that all users must have a transmitter. Private-Door has the Free-Float
System that permits users to open and close the door manually without
any damage to the operators transmission nor increase resistance to the
user. |
