Grub screws on door handles

Post by hiace_drifter »

The door handles I installed have grub screws underneath which frequently drop out ...

Have I perhaps installed them incorrectly? From memory i installed the spindle so the grub screws go into the "split":

If that is correct, I guess I just need to use some threadlock?

Yep
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

Pop the grub screw out, a dab of loctite (thread locker) on the grub screw will sort it
