Description
The LiftMaster 1702LM Quick-Release Lock is a garage door opener emergency release accessory designed for vault-type garages where there is no convenient secondary access into the garage.
The 1702LM provides an exterior access point that allows the garage door opener's emergency release mechanism to be activated when normal access is unavailable, such as during a power outage or garage door opener failure.
Why Choose the LiftMaster 1702LM?
Garages without a separate entry door can create an access problem if the automatic garage door opener cannot operate. The LiftMaster 1702LM Quick-Release Lock provides a solution for these vault-type garage applications by allowing access to the opener's manual emergency release from outside the garage.

Emergency Release Access for Vault-Type Garages
A vault-type garage generally relies on the garage door itself as the primary means of entry. If electrical power is lost or the garage door opener becomes inoperable, reaching the opener's internal emergency release can become difficult without another entrance.
The LiftMaster 1702LM provides an exterior quick-release solution, allowing the emergency release mechanism to be accessed so the garage door can be manually operated when necessary.
Ideal for Garages Without a Secondary Entrance
The 1702LM is particularly useful when installing a garage door opener in a detached or other enclosed garage where no separate service or pedestrian entry door is available.
For professional garage door installers, adding a quick-release lock to the appropriate installation can provide an important means of emergency access if the automatic opener becomes unavailable.
The LiftMaster 1702LM Quick-Release Garage Door Lock is a practical accessory for compatible residential garage door opener installations requiring external access to the manual release system.
