Anyone have a couple of screws?

[Nick67GT]

Just fitted some doors back on after stripping them of over 100 years of paint in various shades of white, cream, dark green and pale blue.

This included the lock sets and hinges, which although not original, have come up nicely.

Problem is, whilst the various pieces were in the paint stripping jollop, no. 1 son threw the residue away including the countersunk set screws which hold on the brass finishing plate.



From memory, I reckon they're 3/16" UNC X 1/4" or so long.

Does anyone have a couple floating around in their spares box that they would be willing to part with for a few beer tokens?

Good point, but these aren't the original locks though.

I thought that unc/whit had different countersink angles.

Replacement screws might not grip as well, if so, you can tighten up the holes by putting a few drops of glue in them and jamming some toothpicks in; then break them off flush with the mortise.
