Faceplate Screws

[HDRider]

The screw in my faceplate fell out and left home.

 

Two questions

 

1) Would a Home Depot carry a screw like this?

 

2) What would be a good glue to use on the screw to hold it in place?

I am told not to use Loctite. I need a tiny bit larger thread.  The screw is not biting into the fiberglass.  The hole is wallowed out.

@HDRider …or replace all 4 screws with aluminum plusnuts like these. 

……or these should also work well

Take the screw to Home Depot, Ace Hardware, or other hardware store and you should find a similar screw, just get a slight larger screw. You might purchase 2 different sizes to insure one grabs the fiberglass. That is very strange. Did you remove the inverter face for some reason previously?

Use a wood toothpick and a bit of Tightbond glue in the hole.  Don't over tighten it.  Replace the other screw and they will match.
