Dual alternator failure and complete electrical failure

About nine months ago I had both alternators fail during flight. I had 40 minutes to go to get to my maintenance base. I used minimal electricity to last me most of the flight ( last 10 minutes or so I had no electric power) and the first item I did after the failures was lowered the landing gear. So I flew at around 130 mph to my mechanic. My question is: do the gear doors open when there is no electrical power? I have a 337B. I’ve read over the service manual, the landing gear diagrams and the POH and I’m still not sure about the answer. Thanks
