Door Handle Damaged Through Fixture

[akashi]

Somehow one of the screw holes on the door handle became slightly larger and is not allowing the screw head to grab on to it.

I thought the screw might have been the problem and changed it with the same result.

This door handle is secured with a bolt on one end and screw from the other side.

Any ideas what I can do make the screw grab onto the hole without passing through it?

Thanks.

A small washer might help

Do you mean it is fixed with this type of thing,through door handle screws you may just need a longer version.

You may have to drill new hole if it’s badly worn though unusual.Are you using screws supplied with handle ? You can’t use washer as it will obstruct cover .

Yes, the screw and bolt are already the perfect length. Unfortunately the issue is with the hole on the handle itself, it is slightly larger than the screw/bolt head.

I think this maybe the only option other than replacing this particular handle. I am using the screws and bolts originally supplied.

Possibly a larger size of screw and sleeve nut.

Is your old screw M4?

But why don't you just use some of the spare holes in the rose?

I emailed the manufacturer, Assa Abloy and they were kind enough to send me some new screws and bolts.

It did the trick, as the new bolts are slightly larger and were able to grip onto the hole.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
