National Bifold Door Parts needed

Question

What I believe I need are the pivot guides and guide pins for National Bifold Doors louvered metal doors. They both appear to be around 4 2/2 inches long. The pivot guides appear 1/4 inch wide while the guide pins appear maybe 3/16 inches wide (or vice versa, the guides that slide are the smaller diameter). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for contacting us. It's tough to tell exactly what you have while your pins are still installed. I can't make out the style of the nylon cap that goes in the frame, as it's obscured. That said we do have a couple National brand pins. See our 21-072 to start. This looks similar to the pins I see in your photos and it is 1/4" in diameter. Could this be the replacement you're looking for?

We don't have a National brand pin that's 3/16". You may want to double check that dimension. The other two National pins we have are our 21-046 and 21-041. Look these over and see what you think.
