Bifold door tracks
I have a set of bifold doors with this style of pin on them. Bi-Fold Door Top Pivot Guide N6672 by Prime Line Slide Co | DoItYourself.com What kind of track does it use?

..As per their site....
N-6640
Pivot Bracket
Contents: 1 bracket.
Description: Adjustable pivot bracket mounts into top or bottom
track; stamped steel; fits on Slimfold and others.
.
but you dont have to use that style of 'pin' - not very common (at least up here). You can change out those pins for the more common ones found at any HD/Rona etal.
Many times I have to change out the 'old' for the newer style thats more readily available.

Well, the pins are no big deal. You can buy a complete hardware kit at most Box stores or Hardware stores. They come in all the standard sizes for bifold doors. Includes track, brackets, pins/rollers, screws, etc.
You may have to re-drill the holes. Some of the pins/rollers may be bigger and will split the door if you try to force them in.

Try not to fret over this. It isnt as big an issue as you may think.
Generally speaking, most holes, predrilled in bifolds are of a common size.
You can usually substitue an old system to a newer system by just replacing the pivots with what is commonly used, and use the reciprocol common brackets and tracks that support the newer pivots.
From what Ive seen on your link- those pivots are 'dated' - retrofit your doors with newer pivots and sliders and you should be good to go...!
