Metal bifold closet upper and lower guide pins

Home Owner from Knolls Condominiums in Willowbrook, Illinois
Hi, I need upper and lower guide pins for the metal bifold closet with the attached pictures.I am not sure of the size. I have 3 closets with the same issue.
I am not sure if I need 3/8 inch caps or 13/32 inch caps or different sizes.
Thank you very much.

Hello! Thanks for reaching out to us. You have very old Leigh Full View bi-fold doors so there is a limited inventory of parts. We still have the 21-205 pivot bracket and the bottom 5/16" threaded adjusting pin, the 21-048. We also have the top and bottom 21-058 guide pins. The pins come with the 21-108 nylon guide that runs along the track groove. You need to remove the track to slide the nylon guides onto the track. We no longer have the top 5/16" pivot pin, unfortunately. Please review the specifications and compare them with yours to confirm if these are the correct pins for your door.

Thank you so much Paul for the very useful reply. I have asked my friend to send me a picture of the pin as he has same closet, same shape and dimensions, in the same condo community. Please find the picture. Should I get 21-058 or another one? 21-058 looks similar. I will order the pins for all my closers after I hear from you. Thanks much

Yes, you will be fine with the 21-058 pin assembly. I also notice you are missing the nylinders for the pin, so I suggest a few of the 21-150 to replace the missing ones. They help the pins slide through the metal door.

Thank you very much Paul for your reply. I have ordered the 21-058 pins and 21-150 nylinders. Order 3034826. 
My question: to install the 21-058, should I insert the Cotter Pin inside the hole of the 21-058 and place the spring in one side above or below the hole? If not, I appreciate If you can send me few sentences on how to install the 21-058 pin.
 
My last questin: can I install the 21-058 pins without removing the door due to the recrangular space in the metal door which allow me to assemble the 21-058 inside this space?
 
Thank you very much again. I think I will be do a good job after I hear from you.

Ah, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but to install the 21-108 bifold guides, you will need to remove the track to slide the guide into the track groove.
