We moved jnto a house a couple of years ago and the back of the house has two sets of bifold doors which lock via a central bolt running up the middle of the door operated by a handle inside.
At the top of the door where the bolt comes there is a plastic guide which keeps the bolt in place and this is held to the door by two screws which screw into the plastic inner of the frame. For some reason both of these screws worked loose and snagged on the rubber seal of the door which was how I noticed it. I tried simply screwing them back in but the holes seem to have become worn so the screws now will not tighten.
I could just try a bigger screw but I was wondering if I could use something like hard setting glue or epoxy to strengthen/plug the holes so the screws would tighten again. And anyone recommend a suitable material? Or an alternative repair?
Apologies if the description is poor hopefully a photo will help - these two screws are the ones that won't tighten any more.
