Garage Gadgetry presents the difference between steel and plastic center bearings on garage doors with torsion spring setup.
Do you need two bearings on 16 feet door with two spring setup?
No just one bearing and go in either spring on either side of center bracket.
If you're an expert, you probably know the side plates benefit the bearing due to vertical support... Center plate's bearing function is location only(guiding) and NOT support. So for the rest of diy-ers my 2 cents would be: overkill doesn't hurt, just keep in mind quality is not a factor between the 2. This nylon bushing will outlast any other component in the assembly. And I would challenge anyone to prove me wrong
Agree. It’s a little gimmicky
I was looking into this. My 20 year old garage door today just had its single torsion spring break has the plastic center 'bearing' and it's perfectly fine.
@@thumper300zx Makes sense:)... This video is just advertising... I would not pay this "expert" to touch my garage door
@@-.__.__.-Rad Won't hurt to have a stronger steel bearing. It just isn't needed. They don't cost much. But yeah, when people assert these things you have to question the rest.
You didn't really present the difference between steel and plastic. You just stated that steel was better than plastic, without explaining why.
Its kind of common sense. Steel = more durable than plastic. Bearings = smoother rolling les friction.
Yep. The center is really supported by the spring casings and bracket. Very little needed there.
how do you knock out center bearing???
Liftmaster all the way
I like the old liftmaster better
