The Linear 227967 Door Arm - Bent is an OEM replacement component for select Linear garage door openers. This bent/curved arm is one half of the two-piece door arm assembly that connects the operator’s trolley to the garage door, allowing smooth articulation through the opening and closing cycle. It is commonly used on sectional overhead doors and is referenced in Linear service documentation as the “Door Arm, Bent.” Choose this part when your opener’s manual specifies 227967 to restore proper linkage geometry and dependable travel.
For installation, disconnect power to the opener, pull the emergency release, and fully close the door before replacing the arm. The bent arm typically mates with a separate straight arm (sold separately); attach using the hardware and hole positions specified by the opener’s instructions, then re-engage the trolley and re-set open/close travel limits and force settings. After installation, verify safe operation by testing the door balance, obstruction reversal, and photoelectric sensors in accordance with UL 325 guidelines and the Linear manual. Intended for Linear systems that call out part number 227967; not recommended for other brands or door types unless explicitly supported by the manufacturer.
