Re: set screws

And make sure you get the right size allen wrench, I only rounded off set screws if I don't use the right size wrench.

Re: set screws

He may have set screws that use a flat screwdriver to tighten.If so he needs to make sure he gets new ones in an allen head and the same thread.They will tighten better and stay better,but will also probably be strong enough to break the door handles.
