• 6-Inch Offset Heavy-Duty Commercial Garage Door End Bearing Plates – Left and Right Pair

  This heavy-duty commercial end bearing plate set supports the torsion shaft at both ends of a compatible overhead-door spring assembly.

  The set includes one left-hand plate and one right-hand plate, each designed with a 6-inch shaft offset. Heavy 8-gauge steel construction provides the strength required for demanding commercial and industrial garage-door systems.

  The flanged mounting design allows the plates to be securely attached to the wall, jamb, or supporting structure. When correctly installed and aligned, the plates support the torsion shaft, help maintain spring and cable-drum alignment, and allow the shaft to rotate during door operation.

  The bearing bore, shaft diameter compatibility, and inclusion of bearings are not confirmed in the available specifications. Verify these details before ordering.

  The 6-inch measurement refers to the shaft offset and should not be assumed to represent the plate’s overall height or width.

  How It Works

  End bearing plates are installed at the left and right ends of the torsion shaft assembly.

  The torsion shaft passes through compatible end bearings positioned in the plates. As the garage door opens and closes, the shaft rotates while the bearing plates support its weight and maintain its position.

  Correctly aligned end bearing plates help:

  • Support the torsion shaft
  • Keep the spring assembly level
  • Maintain cable-drum alignment
  • Reduce shaft binding
  • Promote smooth shaft rotation
  • Reduce unnecessary stress on torsion-system components

  Heavy-Duty Commercial Construction

  These plates are made from 8-gauge steel for use in more demanding applications than standard light-duty residential bearing plates.

  They are intended for compatible systems such as:

  • Commercial sectional overhead doors
  • Industrial garage doors
  • Warehouse doors
  • Loading-dock doors
  • Agricultural overhead doors
  • Large or heavy custom door assemblies
  • High-cycle commercial torsion systems

  Door weight, torsion shaft size, spring configuration, and mounting structure must all be considered when selecting bearing plates.

  Left- and Right-Hand Configuration

  The package includes two separate plates:

  • One left-hand end bearing plate
  • One right-hand end bearing plate

  Each plate must be installed at the corresponding end of the torsion assembly so the flange and bearing position align correctly with the shaft and supporting structure.

  Compare the replacement plates with the original hardware before installation.

  Measurements to Verify

  Confirm all of the following before purchasing:

  1. The required shaft offset is 6 inches.
  2. The system requires heavy-duty commercial bearing plates.
  3. The plate configuration matches the original installation.
  4. The torsion shaft diameter matches the required bearing bore.
  5. The bearing size and type are compatible with the torsion shaft.
  6. The mounting flange orientation matches the supporting structure.
  7. The mounting surface is structurally adequate.
  8. The original product number is 216 when available.

  Matching only the 6-inch offset does not guarantee complete compatibility.

  Bearings

  The available product information does not clearly state whether end bearings are included with the plates.

  Before ordering, confirm:

  • Whether bearings are included
  • Required bearing bore
  • Torsion shaft diameter
  • Bearing outside diameter
  • Bearing load rating

  Do not install an improperly sized bearing or operate the door with a loose bearing fit.

  Package Contents

  • One left-hand heavy-duty commercial end bearing plate
  • One right-hand heavy-duty commercial end bearing plate

  Bearings, torsion shaft, springs, center bearing supports, cable drums, lift cables, fasteners, anchors, and other hardware are not confirmed as included unless specifically stated.

  Installation Requirements

  The bearing plates must be firmly fastened to structurally sound framing capable of supporting the torsion assembly and operational loads.

  Both plates must be installed at the correct height and offset so the torsion shaft remains level and rotates without binding.

  After installation, verify that:

  • The torsion shaft is level
  • Both bearing positions are aligned
  • The shaft rotates freely
  • Cable drums remain properly aligned
  • Lift cables track correctly
  • Springs do not contact surrounding structures
  • All mounting bolts and anchors are secure

  Improper alignment can cause premature bearing wear, shaft drag, uneven cable movement, and unsafe garage-door operation.

  Installation and Safety

  Commercial garage-door torsion systems store extreme mechanical energy. Servicing an end bearing plate may require loosening components connected to the torsion shaft, cable drums, lift cables, or springs.

  Incorrect procedures can allow the shaft, spring, cable drum, or other components to move violently without warning.

  Installation should be performed only by a trained commercial garage-door technician with the proper tools and knowledge of torsion spring systems.

  Never remove an end bearing plate, loosen a cable drum, or disassemble the torsion assembly while the springs remain under tension.
