Hi All.
I have a craftsman garage door opener in a place I am renting, (but I want
to fix it my self) and need to know what the part is called that goes from
the trolley I think they call it, to the door. IIRC it is like a metal bar
that is angled near the door end of it.
I guess the sears website will still have it, or is there a better or
cheaper place to buy it.
Also I will need a "remote" for it. Can I get some type of universal opener,
or is sears the best bet for that too?
Thanks, Tony

Sears sells parts at reasonable prices. I have replaced parts for my 22
year old Craftsman opener from the Sears parts store.
Almost any universal remote can be programmed to open your Craftsman
opener. Check the package to see if it works for your opener.

Looks Like they call it a door arm.
I found a universal one,

but don't know if I need a straight one or a curved one.
It is a sectional door, So I am thinking curved?
Thanks, Tony

Hi,
My door has a curved one.

You use them both. They bolt together allowing you to adjust the length
of a leg of the L. I'm not sure why the set costs $5 more than the sum
of the costs of the parts; perhaps it includes some bolts.
