Hey Frank. Start by looking at our 70-008 or 70-009 Pin kits. Look over the dimensions and see if one of these could work for you.

A home owner from Greenville, Ohio says:
Thanks, These do look similar. However not long enough. Need about 1" longer. Any other suggestions.

Hi Frank. I'm afraid we don't have pins that are 1" longer. There is a trick other customers have performed: they trim the black nylon cap on these replacements down a little, which gives the pin more room to fit into thicker frames. Obviously it's not ideal, and it can be a bit tricky to do, but it's our only other option. Note that modified products cannot be returned for a refund. Let me know if you have any other questions.
