Free delivery on eligible orders of £20 or more. Review: Handy for roller doors to - I bought this for an electric roller door, I have ours fitted to the outside to give more room in the garage, the fitter never fitted a lock and simply left the hole in for the emergency winder in the event of a power outage, I simply cut off the cable and drilled the hole to 26mm and fitted the lock, better than paying over £56 for the same product without a cable on, it simply removes the barrel of the lock leaving a nice hole to insert your emergency long key, cheap and secure fix. Review: High quality hardware. - I had been looking for a cable release system to replace the system installed with our new door about 3 years ago. The old lock had somehow seized and the flimsy key would not even enter the lock (it seems most of these are now made poorly). The key and cylinder of this system are much more robust and mechanically smooth. Feel fortunate to have discovered the need to replace the cable release system before a power outage would have resulted in such discovery. Check your current hardware dimensions first: The hole required for insertion of this hardware (2.54mm/1") was larger than my existing hole, but the mounting holes were spaced the same (~38.5mm/1.5"). Length of insert for lock cylinder is ~ 40mm/1.6". See pics. ## Features - Key Unlock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HUNUIO8 | | Brand | OnlineGarageDoorSpares | | Colour | Silver | | Control Method | Touch | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 33 Reviews | | Finish | Polished | | Included Components | Handle | | Lock Type | Key Lock | | Lock type | Key Lock | | Manufacturer | OnlineGarageDoorSpares | | Material | Metal | | Model Number | 700987466911 | | Recommended Uses For Product | emergency access to garage doors | | Recommended uses for product | emergency access to garage doors | | Shape | Round | | Special Features | Key Unlock | | Special feature | Key Unlock | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 700987466911 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** OnlineGarageDoorSpares - **Lock type:** Key Lock - **Material:** Metal - **Recommended uses for product:** emergency access to garage doors - **Special feature:** Key Unlock ## Images ![Garage Door External Emergency Release Device – Round Flat Key Type with 3' Cable - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hkLY1U35L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it come with anti tamper bolts and nuts for fixing?** A: Was a long time ag 2014 , but I’m sure it did come with bolts **Q: Anyone using this work Chamberlain opener?** A: Yep. Needed to fit it as I have no other doors into the garage. Fortunately not needed to use it in anger yet. **Q: how do you fit into concrete blocks?** A: Not sure of your question. It's designed to fit into the garage door one end and the release mechanism on the rail of your electric door opener. **Q: Is this secure? The key doesn't look very complex.** A: The key is circular which is shaped around the edge , similar to cycle locks . ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy for roller doors to *by S***E on 3 January 2025* I bought this for an electric roller door, I have ours fitted to the outside to give more room in the garage, the fitter never fitted a lock and simply left the hole in for the emergency winder in the event of a power outage, I simply cut off the cable and drilled the hole to 26mm and fitted the lock, better than paying over £56 for the same product without a cable on, it simply removes the barrel of the lock leaving a nice hole to insert your emergency long key, cheap and secure fix. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality hardware. *by S***Y on 26 October 2020* I had been looking for a cable release system to replace the system installed with our new door about 3 years ago.
