Bi-fold door hardware

Question

Bifold closet doors from the 60's. There is a plastic wheel which fits into the track at the top of the door. The wheel is on a threaded spindle. One of the plastic wheels is broken, and I can't find any threaded replacement.

Thanks for writing in! Your bi-fold door appears to have a thread pin with a nylon guide. Normally the threaded pin on a closet door is used on the bottom corner pivot. There it controls the height and squareness of the doors.

The top pins would typically be on a spring. That said, take a look at our 23-124 and 23-125. Carefully compare the dimensions to confirm which of these is the best fit. You'll especially want to confirm the diameter of the wheel to confirm that it will fit your existing track.
