Hello,

I am looking for replacement parts to replace mirror bifold door hardware. Original parts, as shown in pictures, would be ideal, but I am open to alternatives. As you can see the top pivot is bent. I would greatly appreciate if you can help with identifying part and an advice.

Thanks,
Oleg

You have a Paniflex door that uses a 23-099 center spring-loaded guide pin and a 23-100 top spring-loaded pivot. Does that sound like all the parts you need?

WOW! this is my exact door and the exact part i need on the left. Does it only come in one measurement?

Thanks

Hi there, Julie. As long as the top nylon bushing is 3/4", our 23-099 center spring loaded roller should be your replacement part.

I'm looking for a replacement sliding block that the centerfold top of the bifold wood door fits into. It's just a small plastic square piece with the hole/slot that the upper pin fits into and slides along the track when opening and closing.

Seems like a standard piece but I haven't found one yet.

Any help?

Look at the 23-130 top guide that was used by Stanley, as well as the 23-146 guide that was used by many wood closet door companies.

Dear Sir or Madam:

I need that piece but I need the RH and LH for mine doors. I need the part for the RH and LH. I recently ordered part number 23-141 and 23-142 but they are not the same it looks the same on your website.

Kindly assist with the right part. Thank you

Joe,

This does look like the 23-141 and 23-142 to my eye. Can you go into more detail as to why they didn't work?

When I ordered the 23-141 and 23-142 the round piece is thinner and it doesn't have the spring that mine photo I sent in. Also, when I placed the piece on the door your piece 23-141 and 23-142 don't face flat on the door because there is a piece that stick out. See attached photo of your piece which has a piece that sticks out and I can't lay flat down on the door. Then see a photo of mine piece that doesn't have it.

Perhaps I can be of assistance. The 23-141 and 23-142 is for a 1/2" track. You will need the 23-099 with the 3/4" nylon guide. The manufacturer did away with the left and right and placed the nylon guide in the middle. The metal bracket lays flat on top of the door without the additional bend. Please compare to confirm.

I have the same problem that our friend from New York has, but he never showed his pictures. So here's a picture of my hardware. My part's on the left, and my 23-141 (purchased August 2023) is on the right. It won't sit right on my door.

As mentioned previously in this thread, the 23-141 and 23-142 are used with a 1/2" track. You'll need the 23-099 with the 3/4" nylon guide. The manufacturer did away with the left and right orientation and placed the nylon guide in the middle. The metal bracket lays flat on top of the door without the additional bend. Review the specifications below and see what you think.
