BUDONI Bifold Door Hardware Repair Kit - 2 Pack Bi-fold Sliding Closet Door Hardware Kit for 7/8" to 1" Track, Folding Pocket Door Replacement Parts Set Include Top Bottom Pivots Bracket and Guide Wheel

Why I reached for this kit

A few months ago, several bifold closet doors in my place were scraping, leaning, or popping out of their tracks. Rather than replacing entire doors and tracks, I wanted a straightforward refresh that would restore smooth operation. The BUDONI bifold repair kit caught my eye because it’s a two-pack with the critical wear parts—top and bottom pivots, pivot brackets, and guide wheels—rated for standard 7/8"–1" tracks and doors up to 50 lb. I used it across multiple closets to see how well it could stand in for a full replacement.

What’s in the box

Each kit includes:
- Top pivots (metal and plastic options)
- Bottom pivots
- Top and bottom pivot brackets
- 7/8" guide wheels
- Mounting screws
- An installation manual

The components are a mix of stainless steel and nylon PA6. That material choice is sensible: steel where strength and threads matter, nylon for the moving wheel and sliding interfaces to keep noise down. The pivots and guide wheels are spring-loaded, which is important for keeping the door engaged in the track and reducing the chance of a door jumping out under a side load.

Note: there’s no track or hinges in the kit. You’re meant to reuse your existing track and door hinges. That’s ideal if your track is straight and within the supported size; it’s not a solution if your track is bent, corroded, or a nonstandard width.

Installation experience

If you’ve ever removed a bifold, the process here will feel familiar:
1. Pop out the top pivot to free the door.
2. Lift the door off the bottom pivot.
3. Replace the pivot brackets as needed.
4. Install new bottom pivot and top pivot/wheel.
5. Rehang the door, set the top pivot in the track, and adjust.

I worked with a drill/driver, a hand screwdriver for finesse, a small wrench for the bottom pivot adjustment, and a tape measure to confirm track width. I also pre-drilled pilot holes for the brackets in older jambs to avoid splitting.

The included manual is clear and shows the parts breakdown and orientation. It’s not wordy, but the diagrams are good, and the order of operations matches what you’d expect. On the first door, I spent about 30 minutes taking my time; after that, it was closer to 15–20 minutes per door.

Adjustability is decent. The bottom pivot has enough vertical adjustment to square the reveal, and the spring-loaded top pivot makes it easy to lift into the track without fighting the door’s weight. Seating the 7/8" guide wheel into a 1" track felt secure, and the spring in the wheel assembly helps it ride smoothly without clicking.

A small tip: mark the door’s original orientation before removal. If the door has sagged, you may be tempted to flip panels—resist that until you try adjusting height and pivot placement with the new kit. Often, the new parts fix the sag without any panel shuffling.

Fit and compatibility

Compatibility is always the question with “universal” repair kits. The kit is designed for 7/8"–1" tracks and door thicknesses from 1" to 1-3/8". That covers most hollow-core interior bifolds. On those, I had a near drop-in experience.

On one older closet, the existing track opening was slightly undersized and the door used a nonstandard top bracket pattern. In that case, I reused the old top bracket and just swapped the pivot itself. The parts mixed without issues, but it’s a reminder that not every 20- to 30-year-old system matches today’s geometry. If your track measures less than 7/8" or is a proprietary profile, plan on replacing the track as well.

I also ran into a metal bifold door with a particularly shallow bottom stile. The bottom pivot still fit, but the bracket’s footprint left little room for error. Pre-marking and using an awl to start the screws helped keep everything square.

Bottom line: the kit is not a universal cure-all. If your track is within spec and your door stile thickness is standard, it’s a good fit. If not, be ready to reuse some original hardware or consider a full system replacement.

Performance after the install

The spring-loaded pivots and wheel make an immediate difference. Doors stay planted in the track, and the “hop” you get when a top pin has too little tension disappears. Movement is quiet—nylon tends to dull the clack-and-scrape that older metal rollers can make—and there’s less side-to-side slop than the worn parts I pulled out.

Alignment held well after a few weeks of daily use. The bottom pivot’s height stayed set, and the doors no longer drifted open. The brackets feel stout enough to resist flex when you tug the handle to open quickly. I’d still be cautious near the 50 lb upper limit; solid-core bifolds can be surprisingly heavy, and while the kit is rated to 50 lb, most hollow-core doors will give you a larger margin of comfort.

One nice detail: having both a metal and plastic option for the top pivot lets you match what your track and bracket prefer. The metal top pin felt more confidence-inspiring in a high-use hallway closet, while the plastic top pin ran fractionally quieter in a bedroom.

Materials and durability

Nylon PA6 is a solid choice for the wheel and guide surfaces. It resists wear and doesn’t develop flat spots quickly. After several weeks of use, I saw no fraying or shaving on the wheel edges, and the steel parts haven’t picked up surface rust. The springs retain tension—no noticeable drop that would suggest they’ll pack out quickly.

The screws are serviceable and matched the brackets well. If you’re anchoring into softwood jambs that have been repaired before, consider longer or thicker screws for the bottom bracket; that bracket carries the door’s weight, and a stripped hole will undo all your good work. Not a knock on the kit, just a best practice.

Value

The two-pack format is smart. Few homes have just one bifold, and the second set lets you fix another door or keep spares for future failures. Buying the kit was far less costly than replacing tracks and panels, and the time investment was modest. If you only need a single odd part, the kit approach means you’ll have extras, but given how often bifolds fail in multiples, I didn’t mind having a parts bin.

Where it shines and where it doesn’t

Pros:
- Covers the essential wear items with compatible, adjustable parts
- Spring-loaded pivots and wheel keep doors engaged and reduce jamming
- Quiet operation thanks to nylon components
- Clear diagrams; straightforward install for DIYers
- Two-pack offers good value if you have multiple doors

Cons:
- Not compatible with every legacy track or bracket pattern
- No track or hinges; bent or off-size tracks require separate replacement
- Bottom bracket relies on solid jamb anchoring; weak wood may need reinforcement
- Near the 50 lb upper limit, I’d prefer beefier pivots

Who it’s for

• Homeowners with standard hollow-core bifolds on 7/8"–1" tracks
• DIYers comfortable with basic measuring, drilling, and minor adjustments
• Anyone wanting to refresh multiple closet doors without replacing the track

Who should look elsewhere:
- Those with damaged or nonstandard tracks (sub-7/8", proprietary profiles, or bent channels)
- Heavy solid-core doors near or over 50 lb
- Historic or metal bifolds with unusual stile and bracket geometries

Final thoughts and recommendation

I’d recommend the BUDONI bifold repair kit for most standard residential closets. It’s an easy, cost-effective way to bring stubborn doors back to smooth, quiet operation. The parts quality is solid, the included options cover common setups, and the install is approachable even if you don’t do this sort of work often. The main caveat is compatibility: measure your track width, confirm your door thickness, and inspect your existing brackets before you start. If your system falls within the stated specs, this kit is a practical fix that saves you from a full door-and-track replacement. If it doesn’t, no repair kit will solve what a new track system should.
