Would It Be Hard To Convert Electric to Garage Door To Be Both Electric & Manual

Recently bought a new build and the garage is only accessible through the garage door that exclusively opens with a remote or through an app. We have had 2 serious power outages that has not only left our car stuck in the garage but also camping equipment which would’ve come in handy during one of the outages. I want to add a manual way to open the door in case the power goes out again. I previously lived a house where it was both electric but also had a handle that when turned unlocked the door and the entire garage door could be pulled up. Is this something I can do myself? submitted by /u/Koifmonster [link] [comments]
