HOLLOW DOOR WITH LOOSE HANDLE AND STRIPPED SCREW HOLES 

Drill holes to fit dowels and PVA glue them. Would be a much better fix, I’m guessing.

Good video, but chisel will,do less damage to door then hacksaw for trimming cocktail sticks👍

Thanks for this, tried it and it worked....yippee!!

great tip thanks. I was thinking of cutting away a circle and then filling it with filler (hopefully still leaving room for the latch mechanism). Glad I dont have to bother with all that now 🍺

Excellent idea! I tried it and worked very well. Thank you for sharing!

Thankyou for sharing this x

Thank you Big help

Finally!! Thankyou 👍

Thank you

You can also but ‘through bolts’ so that you don’t have to rely on the screw thread in the repaired wood (which are weak as the grain of the cocktail stick is in the wrong direction), also cocktail sticks are generally too hard and matchsticks or cheap kebab skewers will work better as well as cleaning the holes out with a small drill before gluing in the ‘dowels’

Very simple and very effective! Even if it only last a year it's a great result for no cost and very little effort! Thanks for sharing.

Looks exactly like my door exact handle

Thanks going to try this with match sticks

That’s got the misses off my back👍🏻 great video

amazing thanks!!!

What's going to stop your new screw holes from eventually becoming like all those previous chewed up holes? Surely you'll have to keep coming back to redo this repair?

I've tried wood filler and wood shavings nothing works..gonna try this tonight and will give an update once dried

that doesn't work for me anymore, probably the holes are already too big, can I use a mixture of super glue and sawdust instead?

Did you have to put any filler in the holes to make it secure?

What is the type of door handle called?

Interesting but the lever handle should have been straight when refixed
