SIMPLE HOME SOLUTIONS

Bob Schmidt shows you a simple way to tighten and keep tight those loose bolts that happen in many household accessories, ie door handle, deadbolt, bath accessories, garage door rails, swing sets etc.

Thanks Bob, thats a good tip. I also have the same problem with one of the aluminum doors

Note they also make a minimal strength Loctite that (I think) is purple in color... it's probably perfect for household stuff like locks and all that. There is also now a 'wicking' formula for already assembled stuff. I've personally never used either of these, but hear of them from time to time. Remember, like Bob says in the video, never-ever even go near the hideous red stuff. It's more for things never intended to be disassembled again... as in a few automotive & aerospace applications...

All good advice but it does seem to partially cure in a few minutes of waiting,either way great advice I may put some of that into video Thanks+++Bob

Loctite is an anaerobic adhesive... and doesn't cure in the presents of oxygen. Don't waste your time letting it 'dry' for a while before assembling, as it doesn't matter. More important is to make sure the parts are 100% clean and dry, and to shake the container vigorously for (literally) several minutes. Also, keep in mind that even the Blue stuff can render some household stuff made from cheap/soft metals, and/or with poorly formed screw heads impossible to disassemble... use sparingly.

Ive used this many times before I have used red threadlock on security doors with security bolts it becomes pretty much imposible to break off :D
