Spring Storm Garage Door Checklist in Hendersonville, TN
Spring storms in Sumner County bring wind, heavy rain, and power outages, all of which test a garage door. This checklist covers before, during, and after a storm, without asking you to touch springs or cables.
Before a storm
- Close and lock the door, and check that the bottom seal sits flat.
- Clear leaves and debris from the track and sensor area.
- Test the opener battery backup, if your opener has one, and know where the manual release cord is.
- Move cars and valuables away from a door that is already noisy, jerky, or off balance.
During a power outage
If power is out, you can use the manual release cord to open the door by hand, only if the door moves smoothly and is not heavy. If it is very heavy or stuck, the spring or cable may have failed. Keep the door closed, reconnect the opener when power returns if it is safe, and call (615) 637-1566.
After a storm
Check by eye for a bent track, popped rollers, a door that sits unevenly, or water under the seal. Do not force a stuck door. See off track repair, track repair, and emergency service, and return to Hendersonville Garage Door Rescue.
