Hello,. We are remodeling a 1969 Squire mobile home that had BiFold Closet Doors for a bedroom closet. On the inside of the doors was a sticker (see attached photo) that says Float Away Junior Door Co. There are 2 parts missing?1 each of the pictures attached. My husband believes we need one Top Pivot and one Top Guide Pin (whole assemblies). He didn't think they looked exactly like the pictures on your site so thought maybe run them by you and see what you think. Thank you so much in advance!

Hello!

I'm afraid I can't determine what you have from these pictures. Can you remove the pins and show us, along with dimensions? Specifically, we'll need to know the diameter of the pin and the diameter of the nylon cap, where it fits into the track. We carry many different types of bifold door pins and that will help us narrow down some options.

Thank you!

Thank you for the additional picture and information! I don't recognize these pins at first glance but I'm going to have one of our senior experts take a look and see if they could recommend a replacement for you. We'll reach out as soon as more information is available.

Thank you!

Hey, Shelly.

I'm afraid we don't carry these original Float-A-Way top pivot pins anymore but we do carry a newer style, the 21-024 top pivot and 21-022 guide pin. To determine if you'll be able to use this new style of hardware, can you show us a picture of the holes at the end of your door where the pins fit into?

The new Float-A-Way pins might fit your doors. You would remove the nylon bushings and springs. Then slide the new pins into the square hole and the extended hook would lock into the other hole.
