Handyman at the Kroger on 41 told me my shutoff valves were on borrowed time, checked mine and found one that wouldn't close
He said old gate valves in Marietta homes from the 80s seize up and you won't know until water is spraying, so I tested all six in my house and the one to the water heater was stuck wide open, and now I'm wondering if anyone else here has swapped theirs out and what you used.

Did you read that same thing about gate valves being a problem in older homes? I saw a plumber on youtube say the 80s stuff was built cheap and they never get turned so they just freeze up inside. Probably worth swapping the stuck one before it becomes a real mess.
