I Need another metal post and the plactic tips. I just do not know what size will replace it. I also need 2 new spring post to click them into the top.

This is for an 66 years old garage furnace closet. The doors are nolonger bifold, they where fused together so they only swing out pivot like a pendulum door.

I'm sending 1 more email with a picture

Hi Paula,

The first pin reminds me of the part used on National bi-fold doors. I would recommend starting by comparing the 21-103 pin cap to yours, which is part of the 21-072 guide pin. I’ve also related the 21-150 nylinders on this page for you to review, which act like washers for the pin to slide into the bi-fold door, and the 21-155 1/4" push nut that locks the pin into the door.

Your second post looks like an old Slimfold door. The bottom adjusting pin would be the 21-001. The top pivot and the two guide pins would be our 21-007. Take note that they now come with a nylon sleeve

Your last post shows the old Slimfold pivot rod clamp that has been replaced with the new style 21-154. Review the specifications of each part and let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you.

Do you have this metal clamp, it rests between the screw and the pivot Rod clamp.

We do not carry an exact match for this rod clamp but you should be able to use the new style 21-154 for your Slimfold door. Review the dimensions below compared to yours.

This is a follow up

The pivot caps that were suggested are a little too small. Here are some more pic and measurements. I will send you one other email with pics. If this is helpful I can mail you my original part for comparison. I don't know who manufactures your parts or if you have a 3D machine.

Sincerely,

Paula

The nylon pivot you are trying to match to fit in the old track is no longer available, unfortunately. We suggest replacing the track with the 21-401, or one of the other length options that we offer depending on the size of the door opening, and using the 21-001 for the pivot pin and 21-007 for the guide pin.
