Not quite sure where to put this.....but here goes....
I own two houses, and one is a fairly old construction, with lots of non standard sizes for doors and windows.
I have a problem with some of the interior doors, where the handles are fastened by small discs, about 2.5" i diameter, on each side of the door.
The lever bolt is free in the handles and goes through the door. However, the wood around the bolt holes is rather soft and porous, and somewhat "abused" over time, so there is too little bite for the screws to hold the discs. The wood thickness left on each side is sllightly less than 0.5".
I'd rather not change the doors, as they are out of size compared to modern modulus techniques.
I was thinking about thinned epoxy, or an epoxy based putty of some kind....... anyone in for ideas or thoughts on this????
BTW - fitting a hardwood disc may not work, as I have no guidance for making a fitting recess...
TIA...
EDIT: I'm in Europe, so US hardware store stuff from the US is probably NOT available here in my corner...DIY is is......
