I had to have the door springs replaced on one of my garage doors and while the tech was at it he told me that eventually the door pull was connected to the garage door would pull out of the door and make a mess of my door. He told me what to look for on Amazon and I purchased this and installed it myself. Now there is no way my door opener will pull out of my door. This is very well made worth the money.

Works great, may have to be modified, but adds strength to the opener trolly arm that pulls the door up, easy install, may need longer screws on the hinge side, but that's what I mean by modifying

The bracket is solid and heavy, installation is pretty straight forward. I had to use bolt and nut to secure the top edge as the self driller screw does not hold anymore.

My garage door opener ripped the center brace off (after nearly 30 years of use). The sheet metal simply fatigued over time ... this product was easy to install, is solid and solved the problem.

Good product. But missing some hardware

The original Genie Remote operator connection on our garage door failed recently. Searching for a DIY repair, of course we visited a certain online video website. One of the best of these applicable to the repair I needed to perform offered a link to this product.Outstanding choice.Disconnect the operating arm. Measure the height of the top garage door panel to which this Reinforcement Bracket will be installed. Connect the two halves with hardware included, matching this measurement. Remove a pair of fasteners securing the top strut at the top of the garage door. Remove a pair of fasteners securing the top part of the first hinge. Slide the top of this Bracket under the top strut, and place the bottom of the bracket over the now vacant holes of the hinge. Install hardware to secure the bracket to the panel. Reconnect the operating arm, and test.It's likely you'll need to adjust the limit switch for the door closed position. I did, another fairly easy and straightforward task.Installation of this Reinforcement Bracket likely saved us several hundreds of dollars or more.

That reinforcement bracket is simply awesome and really easy to install. Just make sure the bracket can fit between 18” to 24” inches and you’re good to go…

Today's lightweight garage doors require this beam with a door opener(GDO). A GDO installed wrong without it using the bracket supplied with the GDO bolted to the center stile, the upper section of the door can be destroyed by the opener pulling the entire doors weight against that thin metal stile. Mine came close to destruction. It was installed wrong in the summer with the bracket furnished attached to the center stile. It worked but winter came, the door bottom froze to the ground, and the door nearly got pulled apart.With damage done and to save it, I disconnected the GDO puller bar, straightened the top door section and straightened the center stile which almost pulled off. Now I've installed this beam and it works like a charm. GDO install books advise that it's mandatory, and it is. My door is 4 sections each 24" high. This beam is adjustable on it's length, and fits the 24" door section perfect. I removed the 2 hinge screws, put the narrow flat end of the beam right on top of the center hinge section, and put the wider flat end on the top, just 1/4" below the top edge of the door.This beam is narrower than some of the wider ones to be purchased, it's 1 1/2", but that doesn't matter. Most important is the side wall widths this beam has and the metal thickness,13 gage steel(.093). The 2 wide sides makes this product very sturdy.I went the extra mile and installed 2 full door width U shaped struts to stiffen the upper door section and to keep it from bowing in or out. I installed the lower strut across the width of the door and right on top of the flat plate of this beam. I drilled holes as needed. On the upper end I first drilled and installed 1 bolt through an existing hole in the wider flat plate of this beam and let that bolt head center the top strut. I then drilled and installed 2 more bolts through the U strut flanges, through the upper flat plate and into the door.For lifting, the beam has 3 cross holes across it's width for the GDO puller bar, and finding which one is best is easily done. Extra spring tension needs to be added to compensate for additional weights.Do the job right, install this beam on an original install, and door damage will not occur.

This should last a long time. Just make sure it will fit on your garage door panels.
