Push and probe

By pushing the door inward to create a gap at the top, a crook can insert a wire hook and fish for the release. Some use a wedge to hold the gap open.

 

Hook and pull

Once the cord is hooked, all it takes is a good yank to disconnect the door from the opener. On some models, hooking the release lever works too.

 

Add a tie

If your trolley has a pair of holes, you can lock the release with a small plastic tie. Use the smallest tie you can find. It will be strong enough to resist the tug of a fishing wire but will break away with a hard pull on the release cord.
