I have a metal gate which has become loose in its attachment to its metal post. I am a complete novice so please bear with me
Basically what screws should I use to securely reattach it? I've tried using the original screws and adding raw plugs but this is obviously a bodge.
I've read about self tapping screws but the metal post seems to have a simple hole which would make using such screws pointless..I think.
Should I use a different type of raw plug, or any at all?
Grateful for any pointers for what for someone more experienced is probably a quick fix but has more completely flummoxed! Thanks, James.
