Of course that we stopped all projects and rushed to the place, luckily he was in Darien so he was local to us.
When we got there we found that the garage door is locked due to a broken torsion spring, and that the person inside is locked since the door was too heavy to be lifted. We quickly started working and together we were able to open the garage (Some garages in Darien are too heavy to be opened by one person) which was a double wooden garage door. We found an old man inside who looked more amused than terrified. He told us that he watched a “do it yourself” Video on You Tube, where they explained how to replace a torsion spring. So the first step was to disengage the garage door opener, and so he did, just that the door was half way down, so once he disengaged the motor, the weight of the door pulled the door down and locked him inside.
