Mend Doors Loose Help

UPVC Door Handles v.loose?

We have several doors with loose or v.loose handles. Any instructions on how to fix would be great help.

Not really I'm afraid. I'm lucky as I have a friend who fits double glazing and he usually looks after mine. If you see a double glazing fitter working somewhere just ask him, he may even pop round in his lunch break to fix it. I'm sure it can't be much. Good luck with it.

Hi Harry, thanks for reply. We can see screw heads already (not capped) Hubbie has tried to tighten some phillips some flat head but the screw driver stops turning so cannot tighten anymore but the handles still wobble. Any ideas ?

There should be removeable caps over the screw holes which hide the heads of the screws. You will need to remove them (carefully) and they will reveal the heads. You will need to look at them to see what sort of head they are as they may be allen type screws or perhaps a posi or security head. Just tighten them up and replace the caps.

Harry.
