C'mon, that's half the fun. Let's all guess the type of handle, the construction of the door, the extent of damage...BUFF said:lots of lock cases will have holes/cut-outs for bolt through though but we are all working blind as no photos of existing fitments...

Ha! Photo won't do justice as the plate is currently glued in place so you wouldn't be able to see the damage.
But the handles look like these.

And the door is a frame with a single panel but I womder if the door frame is portion is actually hollow - at least it sounds so if you thump on it.

Ideal - the screws are at each corner, and well away from the latch mechanism. I think BUFF's solution should work - pretty much ideal, I'd have thought: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Handle-Fixing-Screws-Escutcheons-4Pieces/dp/B07Q2N8QRL/ref=asc_df_B07Q2N8QRL

OH had already slapped it back on with just glue holding the handle panel in place. It's bound to come off again but this time I'll be ready.frugalmacdugal said:Hi,so matchsticks and glue didn't work?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.
