When tornado season arrives, your garage door shouldn’t be an afterthought. For many homes, the garage door is the largest and most vulnerable entry point, making it a critical line of defense during severe weather. Reinforcing it properly can help protect your entire home from costly tornado damage. Here’s how to keep your garage door—and your family—safe when the storms hit.
1️⃣ Schedule Routine Garage Door Inspections
Regular inspections are vital for maintaining the strength and reliability of your garage door. A simple tune-up can reveal worn parts, loose hardware, or hidden weaknesses that could fail under high winds. Ask your technician about upgrading to a tornado-resistant garage door, which is specifically engineered to withstand extreme wind pressure and debris impact.
2️⃣ Install Garage Door Braces for Extra Strength
Garage door braces are a cost-effective way to add structural support. Keep them on hand and install them when severe weather is forecasted. Properly secured braces help prevent the door from bending or collapsing, minimizing the risk of major damage. Remember to remove or disengage braces when they’re not needed so they don’t interfere with daily operation.
3️⃣ Upgrade Garage Door Windows to Impact-Resistant Glass
Garage door windows are another weak spot that can shatter during a tornado, letting debris and wind wreak havoc inside. Inspect your windows regularly for cracks, and upgrade to impact-resistant glass if you live in a tornado-prone area. Stronger windows add another layer of protection to your garage—and your entire home.
