Hand-Cranked Garage Door Opener
 ✖  |
“I live in Minnesota and have had a lot of trouble with garage door openers because of the way ice and snow freeze them to the ground. I broke three door springs as well as the chain and sprocket clutches on electric door openers before I finally came up with my own hand-cranked opener,” says Mark Klemp, Buffalo Lake, Minn.
“I mounted a 600-lb. hand winch on the left side of the door and ran steel cable straight up to one pulley and then over to a second pulley over the center of the door. From there it runs down to the door’s handle.
“The crank is at a handy height so it’s easy to crank. I’ve been using this opener for 4 years with no problems. It’s simple and it works. The only problem is that you have to get out of the car.”
