I have a hollow wooden door on my bathroom. The brass handle came loose on this over a period of time and eventually came off. I screwed this back using raw plugs specifically for hollow doors but after a couple of weeks this has now come very loose again. I'm not sure what I can do now as I don't want to replace the door and the door furniture matches that of all of the other doors in the house so I don't want to replace that either. Any ideas? I've noticed other handles in my house becoming loose as well but obviously the bathroom handle went first as this was the one used the most.

if youve tried all the usual like using the next size screw up and padding out the holes your other alternatives are replacing the lock block [not worth it
]
using different furniture with different hole positions
change the doors!!!
now your grasping at straws like a long nut and bolt betweeen handles if they line up and the lock is not in the way but not at all satisfactory

simon, I've found that "Driva" fixings can work well in these situations. ight be wortha try, but they will be the last thing you could try there.
