Hi All,

The screw holding the door latch for my drivers side has come a little loose, and I can see it move slightly when opening and closing the door. DOes anyone know what type of screw or screw bit I need to tighten it? Is it a Torx security screw?

Thanks

    Definitely a torx. Just get a cheap bit set from a tool store.

    It's a 'standard' torx fitting. Have you tried a t40 if a t30 is too small?

    There are a few variations of torx screws, security ( with a pin in the middle) and torx plus which looks very similar - not too common though.

    Wickes usually do a set with various security and torx heads for not a lot of money.
