Hi all we have an aluminium back door with mortice lock. Some years ago I replaced the failing door handles with a couple of (cheap) new ones. The screw holes of the new handles had slightly different spacing to the originals, so I had to drill a set of holes for the self-tapping screws for the newer handles.
Fast forward several years, and one of these handles has also failed ;-(.
I've bought a replacement pair of handles. The hole spacing of these is (of course_ different agian... but sufficiently similar that I fear that the new screw holes will overlap one of the previous set of holes.
Any suggestions as the best way to approach this? I have some JB Weld to hand but using this feels like a bit too much of a bodge, even if it works. I was wondering about maybe fitting a sheet of Alu under the handle, to act as a new 'substrate'. This could also be a faff...
Cheers J^n
