I locked myself out of my detached garage. The remote to open it no longer works.

It’s a really old garage and the opener is from 1999.

Trying to lift it obviously doesnt work. There’s an emergency release you can activate with a key, but the keyhole is crammed full of old hard metallic paint that I can’t get out.

Anything else I can do? Or do I have do smash the thing down?

    Sounds like you have the key for that little lock. If so clean it out and use it.

    If you cannot do that then drill out that little lock.

    I would probably just ask my local hardware store what garage door guy they recommend.
