3-3/8-Inch Offset Light-Duty Garage Door End Bearing Plates with 1-Inch Bearings – Left and Right Pair
This light-duty garage-door end bearing plate set supports the torsion shaft at both ends of a compatible residential torsion spring assembly.
Each set includes one left-hand and one right-hand flanged end bearing plate. The plates feature a 3-3/8-inch shaft offset and installed bearings designed for a standard 1-inch torsion shaft.
The flanged design provides mounting surfaces that can be fastened to the garage-door jamb or supporting structure. Once installed, the bearing plates help hold the torsion shaft in alignment while allowing it to rotate smoothly as the garage door opens and closes.

The 3-3/8-inch measurement is the shaft offset. It is not the overall width or height of the bearing plate.
How It Works
End bearing plates are mounted at the left and right ends of the torsion spring assembly.
The torsion shaft passes through the installed bearings. As the garage door moves, the shaft rotates inside the bearings while the plates support its weight and maintain its position.
Properly aligned end bearing plates help:
- Support the torsion shaft
- Keep the spring assembly level
- Reduce shaft binding
- Maintain cable drum alignment
- Promote smooth shaft rotation
- Prevent unnecessary stress on other torsion components
Compatibility
Designed for compatible:
- Residential sectional garage doors
- Light-duty torsion spring systems
- Standard 1-inch torsion shafts
- Systems requiring a 3-3/8-inch shaft offset
- Wood-jamb and compatible framed installations
- Replacement applications using product number 209
These plates are intended for light-duty residential applications. They should not be substituted for heavy-duty commercial bearing plates on large or unusually heavy garage doors.
Left- and Right-Hand Configuration
The package includes two different end bearing plates:
- One left-hand plate
- One right-hand plate
The flange orientation allows each plate to mount at the corresponding end of the torsion shaft assembly.
Do not install both plates on the same side or reverse their intended orientation. Compare the replacement plates with the original hardware before installation.
Measurements to Verify
Confirm all of the following before ordering:
- The torsion shaft measures 1 inch in diameter.
- The required shaft offset is 3-3/8 inches.
- The original system uses flanged end bearing plates.
- The door uses a light-duty residential torsion assembly.
- The mounting flange orientation matches the existing installation.
- The mounting surface can safely support the bearing plates.
- The original product number is 209 when available.
Do not select end bearing plates based only on the garage-door width or height.
Package Contents
- One left-hand light-duty end bearing plate with bearing
- One right-hand light-duty end bearing plate with bearing
Torsion shaft, springs, center bearing plate, spring anchor bracket, cable drums, lift cables, fasteners, and additional hardware are not included unless specifically stated.
Installation Requirements
The garage door must be fully secured before servicing the torsion system.
The end bearing plates should be firmly fastened to structurally sound framing. Both plates must be properly aligned so the torsion shaft can rotate freely without binding.
After installation, verify that:
- The shaft is level
- The bearings are aligned
- The cable drums remain correctly positioned
- The shaft rotates smoothly
- All mounting fasteners are secure
- The torsion springs and cables are properly seated
Misaligned bearing plates can cause excessive bearing wear, shaft drag, uneven cable movement, and improper garage-door operation.
Installation and Safety
Garage-door torsion systems operate under extreme spring tension. Removing or repositioning an end bearing plate may affect the torsion shaft, cable drums, lift cables, and spring assembly.
Improper service can cause components to move without warning, resulting in severe injury, death, or property damage.
Installation should be performed only by a trained 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.
