SIMPLE HOME SOLUTIONS

[Tigess1]

I have a problem with doors which dont stay latched, they used to but now they dont...and I cant seem to correct the issue.. do you have any videos which relate to this common problem. Thank you for all your help, I love your videos they have really helped me as a new home owner.

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

Just yesterday I bolted a shower fixture thru the wall. I was a bit concerned about the nuts coming loose. This would be a perfect application. I knew about thread lock, but didn't really make the connection - I do now. 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.

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

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...
