Reconnect your Garage Door to you operator
Working in the service department at D & D Garage Doors I receive a lot of questions on a daily basis. One of the most common questions I am asked is, “How do I re-engage the operator to the garage door when it’s disconnected?” We all know how to disconnect, that’s the easy part… Simply pull the red handle attached to the red rope, straight down.
Now the million-dollar question, “How do I reconnect my garage door with the garage door opener if I have previously disconnected?”
To reconnect, simply pull the red cord on an angle. You will hear a “click”. At that point push the button for the operator and when the trolley meets with the carriage the 2 will be connected. It’s that simple. Now the next time your lights go out you don’t have to be afraid of releasing the door from the operator in fear of not being able to get reconnected.
If you need further assistance please call us, we can walk you through it!
Thanks for the great advice Bill!

My friend and I were just trying to figure this out a few weeks ago, too bad we didn’t see this before that, this would have been so easy to follow. Thanks D and D for always having such helpful tips!!!!!
This was a very informative post. Helpful to learn how to do that. Thanks for the great advice
This is great information being a new home owner you dont get to meet with the installer to get garage door 101 as to how everything works thanks D&D for the great lesson !
I completely agree with your post, my friend didn’t think he needed them but now he’s looking for someone who can do garage door repairs in Aubrey and I’m curious to know more about it. Do you know of anyone that could help my friend? If so I would love to know, thanks!
I totally agree with you. It’s really great idea about that how to reconnect garage door with the garage door opener. Thanks for sharing these useful tips.
What do you need to do when it keeps coming disengaged without anyone pulling the red rope?? Ours keeps popping out, leaving us to lift the heavy door for reentry. It reengages simply, but doesn’t stay in for more than a few days. Do I need to replace the lever?
