If the holes got to big for the screw, pack some wood in the hole (match stick, whatever)Yep, 1&1/2" eights,
Standard screw for just about anything, lol
If the old screws have ripped the holes out use 10s.
I've got a door handle where the holes have become too big for the screws. The door handle is very loose and any movement results in the screws just falling out
I can't try the match stick fix as the actual door is very hollow (one of them cheap ones)
Is there anything else I can do to rectify the holes for the screws?
Thanks.
there are plastic anchors you can use but,ideally,there should be some thickness to the material they are installed to.might just be time for a new door.I've got a door handle where the holes have become too big for the screws.

new internal doors are fifteen quid apieceLast time i had a center door lock removed it needed prising out and cant see any way of adding anything else inside =limited space.
Wonder if something like plastic padding or chemical metal inserted into the holes and let set and redrilled with a small bit would work.
Can you take out the lock and then try and fit a piece of wood ( cut to size) and glue it in place then replace the door lock/latch again.
That was my initial plan however I ended up getting M4 (4mmØ) POZI PAN HEAD SCREWS and used bolts on ends to tighten the door handle. Doing the job for the moment..
