Your garage door takes a beating during an Atlanta storm. High winds, heavy rain, and hail can loosen hardware, warp panels, and strain cables. After the skies clear, a quick check can save you from a sudden breakdown or a costly repair. Here are five practical tips to keep your door running smoothly after the next storm.

## 1. Inspect for Physical Damage

Start with a walk-around inspection. Look for dents, cracks, or warped panels caused by flying debris or hail. Even small dents can weaken the door's structure over time. Next, check the tracks on both sides. A bent or misaligned track can cause the door to bind or come off its rollers. Common things to check:

- Dents or cracks in steel or aluminum panels
- Loose or missing hinges, brackets, or bolts
- Tracks that are bent, dented, or have debris lodged in them
- Rollers that appear worn or out of the track

If you spot a bent track, do not force the door open or closed. Call a professional to straighten it safely. Catching damage early can prevent a full jam later.

## 2. Check and Replace
