The SOMMER 10153 Emergency Release Cord is a genuine OEM replacement pull cord for SOMMER Direct Drive and Synoris garage door openers. It provides a manual disconnect of the carriage from the opener so you can open and close the door by hand during a power outage or while servicing the system. Installed on the opener’s carriage release lever, this cord hangs within reach to make the release function quick and intuitive—an essential safety and maintenance feature for residential garage door systems using SOMMER’s direct-drive technology.
As an original SOMMER part (10153), this replacement cord restores proper emergency-release operation on compatible SOMMER openers that use the standard SOMMER carriage release. Installation is straightforward with no wiring or programming required: attach the cord to the release lever on the trolley/carriage and route it to a reachable height. For safety, only pull the release when the garage door is fully closed, and disconnect power before performing service. Ideal for replacing a missing or worn pull cord, the SOMMER 10153 supports reliable manual operation and helps keep your SOMMER garage door opener compliant with common safety practices.
