Slimfold door parts

Question

Hello,
Based on posting/pictures already on your site I have identified the bifold doors in my house as old style Slimfold. But I had some questions about the parts I need. Want to replace all the pins and brackets. Are the pins and brackets on the top same as bottom ? That is the pivot pins, guide pins and the brackets. Another question. Can I buy the nylon caps that would go on top of the pins separately?

Also I have a non standard opening of 84". Do you have tracks in that length? If not can I install two 42" length tracks instead?

Thanks

Thanks for posting. I've made a list of relevant parts for you, which you can see on the right side of this page. I will do my best to explain what's necessary.

We have a few different caps for the newer style system; the 21-105 for the guide pins (21-007), as well as the 21-007 and 21-106 caps for the bottom threaded pivot pin (21-001). You would use 21-001 pivot pin and three 21-007 guide pins for each folding door panel.

The 21-200 pivot bracket and 21-277 bumper are the same for both the top and bottom track. If you buy new tracks like the 21-404, they come with the pivot brackets and bumper already. You will need to cut the 48" track down to 42".
