Wife has decided to change 8 sets of door handles and guess what? All the securing screws are not at the same pitch as the ones we have now :-(
What I propose to do is buy some doweling and a spade drill slightly smaller than the dowel. If the spade drill is making too large a diameter hole, I'll grind the side edge until it makes a tight fit for the dowel and then glue the dowel in to provide a blank location for the door handle attachment screws.
Can anyone see a problem with this, apart from the fact that the screws will be going down the grain, instead of across it.
