This Center Anchor Plate is the steel plate that anchors the center of a torsion spring system to the wall above the door. The center anchor plate mounts to the header above the door and holds the stationary end of the torsion springs, so it carries all of the springs’ torque.

Safety: This Part Works With Spring Tension
Parts of the counterbalance system are loaded by the springs whenever the door is closed.
- Never loosen bottom brackets, cable drums or lift cables on a closed door with wound springs. They hold the full spring tension; unwind the springs or have a technician do the work.
- Clamp the door in place before working on it.
- Replace one part at a time and keep hands clear of the drums and cables.
If you are not trained in garage door spring work, have a technician carry out the repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the center anchor plate myself?
Only with the springs fully unwound. The plate holds the springs’ stationary cones, so it is under full spring torque whenever the springs are wound.
What mounts on it?
The stationary cones of the torsion springs and the center bearing that supports the torsion shaft.
