No biggy, I figure I'll head down to Home Depot (I know, I know... don't make fun) for some screws. No luck there... couldn't even find someone to ask. So I head to another local hardware store and speak to the guy who tells me that the screws I have are particular to the door handle. He says that most older / ornate locksets were put together with specially tooled screws not in standard sizes. Could this be true? I just need some simple screws... it can't be this hard can it? Thanks.   Michael K.

Do you have an old one? If so match it up. Good luck. Michael K. Mc Kell
