Hello,
Wondered if someone could help. I recently had several moulded doors hung by someone else. Had to remove them to trim the bottom edge when the carpets were fitted. No problem there but while they were off I noticed that one of the door latches/handles was not in the lock block side and is already coming loose after 2 weeks.
Is there a fix for this I've taken the handle off and the latch out and was planning on packing it in some way. I can get small blocks of wood through the latch but not got enough access to keep them in place.
Second option had been to push some rawplugs into the handle screw holes then use some expanding foam into the latch hole let that set and re drill the latch hole again with a flat bit.
Is this a terrible idea? I know the problems with exapnding foam splitting doors. Any other options?
Thanks
