Loose Knob

You might think that I have a loose screw by talking to you about a loose knob. In reality they are one in the same. I'm talking about those little pull knobs attached to the middle of bi-fold closet doors. Every year I repair several of these. Amazingly simple.

The knob is usually loose because the threads are stripped out and the screw no longer tightens it down. The simple fix is to remove the knob (leave the screw sticking through the door) then put a dab of liquid nail on the length of the screw. Push the knob back on until the glue squeezes out, and wipe off the excess glue. Don't use the door until the glue sets. Wallahh! Fixed.

If you want, you can drink a cup of coffee while you watch the glue dry and admire your work. Just kidding. Not!
