    Made this short video to help out anyone out there who has the same problem and is not sure how to correct it. Its really easy to do with just a few basic tools and hopefully watching has given you the confidence to have a go yourself.

    @davidbeakhust9797 Год назад +5

    Useful. I have a door to which I can apply this knowhow.
    You mention "Phillips screwdriver". At least two of the screws, so probably all, are clearly Pozidriv. These points are not the same as Phillips. Phillips and Pozi came from the same idea, but Phillips drivers slip quite easily if used in pozi heads. Most screwdrivers with interchangeable points come with both. the Phillips ones are usually marked (eg) "PH1, PH2, PH3,..." and pozi "PZ1, PZ2, PZ3,...". One giveaway is the extra narrow grooves set 45 degrees between the main lobes. These are always pozi.
