[quote="TheKingofPain"]I use Schaller locks. They are okay. I've never had one fail, but I generally use the old chopstick trick when I install them to ensure they are good to go out the gate.

What is the chopstick trick??

For some reason the Shaller screws seem just a bit smaller than the originals. If you break off a toothpick, insert it in the hole along with a drop or two of Elmers glue the screws will fit snug and secure.

This is a good trick to use on any wood screw that has stripped out. My dad taught me this trick many years ago and it's never failed me.
