Liftmaster 041A4353-1 Header Bracket Replacement Kit with Clevis Pin 041A4353-1
The LiftMaster 041A4353-1 header bracket kit is the front mounting hardware used to secure a compatible garage door opener rail assembly to the header area above the door. This bracket is a small part, but it carries the rail connection point and must match the opener rail geometry so the opener pulls the door from the correct angle.
This kit is commonly replaced when the original header bracket is bent, rusted, lost during opener replacement, or no longer holds the clevis pin securely. It includes the header bracket, clevis pin, and ring when supplied as a complete kit, making it useful for rail service or a clean replacement of worn mounting hardware.
Compatibility depends on the rail assembly, not just the opener brand. Many LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers use similar looking brackets, but customers should still confirm the opener model, rail style, and manual before ordering.

Technician Note
If the header bracket was bent or pulled loose, inspect the door balance, rail angle, wall/header structure, and opener force settings. A bracket failure can be a symptom of a heavy or binding door.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the opener model and rail style
- Match the original bracket to 041A4353-1 or a listed related number
- Inspect the header mounting surface for damage
- Confirm the clevis pin and ring are included if needed
- Do not install into weak or damaged header material
Professional Advisory
Header bracket installation affects how opener force is transferred to the door. If the mounting area is cracked, loose, or structurally questionable, have a qualified garage door technician inspect it before use.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Similar header brackets may not fit every rail assembly
- Do not order by brand alone; match the rail parts diagram
