Just to tag onto Jonathan's email, I rowed back on the 15th & 16th of March shortly after the door was installed and was able to leave it open about a foot or 2 when on the water.? As I recall I just hit the "open-shut" button again.? So unless something has changed, it does seem possible.? Though in retrospect, I don't see an advantage to leaving the new door partly open as you still have to enter the code to open it fully.? So there's no advantage.

Could be a near-normal season on the horizon....

Good morning,

I was down at the BH the other day for a short ceremonial row in the Echo, and who should walk over but Bob Sproul! Nice visit and chat.

Anyway, in case anyone has missed the info, there is a power operated garage door now, with a keypad, backlit, on the right Jamb. 1-2-3-4.? The up-down button is on the left inside to the left of the log desk.

I am returning the little flashlight today to the key box, with new batteries.? There is no key in the key box – one will be coming eventually I am told, once we are all settled in for the season.

The key is an emergency way to unlock the door in the case of equipment or power failure, but it will not activate or control the opener, nor release the opener linkage. It is possible the door could be pried open in that case. The west side door is unlocked so that’s the worst-case squiggle-in access.

The overhead door unit does not have the electric eye interrupt, but it is resistance sensitive. Bob and I did a trial. But I would not leave a bow deck under it!!

As far as I can tell there is no way to leave it partially open when we are on the water.

The water is on in the bathrooms in case you get caught in bridge traffic and need a shower. ?.
