Garage Door Bearing Plate
A bad garage door bearing plate may not be something you notice right away, but it can lead to bigger issues if left unchecked. If your door is making strange noises or not moving smoothly, the bearing plate could be the reason. We can take a look and replace it quickly so your door works as it should.
What Is a Garage Door Bearing Plate?
The garage door bearing plate is a small metal piece that holds the spring shaft in place and helps everything spin the way it’s supposed to. When it’s working correctly, you don’t notice it at all. But when it’s not, it can throw off the whole system and put extra stress on your door.
Garage door bearing plates are made from strong metal and are built to hold the spring system steady while allowing smooth movement. They’re designed to support the torsion shaft and reduce friction so your door opens and closes evenly. Whether it’s daily use or changing weather putting stress on your system, a solid bearing plate helps everything run quietly, safely, and the way it should.
If your garage door is acting up, the team at Berintek Garage Doors can check the bearing plate and fix it before it turns into a bigger issue.

Common Problems With Garage Door Bearing Plates
Like most things, garage door bearing plates stop working due to the wear and tear of being used daily. Their job is to essentially help everything spin correctly, and after a while, that spinning causes it to wear down.
Common indications that your bearing plates need attention are:
- The door feels uneven when it opens.
- It’s extremely noisy – like grinding or squeaking.
- The spring appears to be off-center or wobbly.
- You see cracks or rust around the metal plates.
If the bearing plates break, it can cause problems with the spring and make your opener work too hard. This means more repairs later – and consequently, more money.
