Hello all!
Pics of the part in question:
I'm having trouble figuring out where to find a replacement for this vertical beam that the garage door opener connects to. I've found multiple adjustable solutions, but from what I can see they are not compatible with this application because of that horizontal reinforcement beam in the middle of my door.
Thanks in advance!

your center style looks fine and structural.. whats the problem exactly?
edit: read there is another door? Anywho, you're not going to find a replacement part, because it isn't a part. the entire panel is the part. If you're going to fix it, you're going to have to get creative and machine the fix yourself. The cheapest would be a 2x4 and throughbolt it. After that you're looking at buying metal and machining it to fit.
I see.. thanks for the insight! I am going to test one of these..
I have my fingers crossed, but my expectations are tempered.
If this fails then I'll just fall back on the 2x4 solution you suggested.
Why are you trying to replace it? If it's because the screw pulled out and the holes are stripped, some bolts with nuts and washers will fix you right up.
My other door ( 2 car divided garage ) was opened while it was locked, and the opener mangled this bracket ( on the other door ).
I used a section of unistrut on mine, laid over the piece (ie your bent piece) , with washers and bolt.
