The one I had included a key that allowed you to manually disconnect the mechanism. You mounted this outside the garage.

In my case this was a few years back. It was a chain drive Chamberlain model (from B&Q).
Not sure same model exists.
The locking mech was like part number 1702EML
On this website.
http://www.easygates.co.uk/motorlift/garage-spares.asp
There is a pdf manual on that site.
Basically drill a hole in the door attach cable to mechanism so that it disconnects the arm if you need to get in when power down.
I think they are pretty standard bits.
