I am trying to locate parts for #DPBTLLW36 Kimberly Bay Bifold Doors 1x36x80 the pivot brack. The ones that came with it are to long for my application. I just need them shorter so they actually bump up next to the end of the track and will also allow the door to open tighter together. I am installing 2 bifold doors in the same location. The are narrower than the standard 1 inch track. What would you suggest? I am asking so not to have to return item.

I'm not sure if we have the hardware you're looking for, but I can try my best to find something. Before I recommend anything, can you tell me the exact size of the bracket? You said that the one you have now is too long, but I need to know what exactly it is you're working with. I also want to know the exact width. Thank you!

I am attaching a photo of the prior slider and the slider that came with the new Kimberly door.

The orginal slider worked well and did the job just too wide for the new door rail. It also screwed down tighter and made the door fold like a sandwich.

I do need two if you find anything.

I think I can help. The long bracket that you're showing on the right in this photo was an older type that Stanley, the manufacturer, discontinued. They have since replaced it with the 23-306. The shorter one on the left is the 23-302, but the 23-302 is not compatible with your track. This was designed to be used in a newer style track like the 23-509.

The older, longer bracket was purposely made to prevent doors from banging together when fully open. To my knowledge, they don't make a shorter kind.

I was pointing out that the shorter slider worked in the wider track. Thought the photo might help in picking one that would fit in the newer smaller track.
I doon't see a mearsurement on theon the product page. Is it the size I need? IF so, I need two. is that possible?

I am assuming everyone is on holiday. Just let me know if the parts you suggested are the size to fit my rail for bifold doors and I will place my order. Thank you
