Manual control is the cheapest and simplest way to open and close sectional garage doors.

If it is difficult to reach the handle of an open garage door, a pull rope may be fixed to help closing the garage door. Manual control requires physical force, so it is suitable for lightweight constructions only. For garage doors that are higher than 2.5 m, consider other control options.
Jackshaft chain hoist is an easier way to control heavy garage doors. This is a manual device, fitted on the shaft of a sectional garage door.
