I've read it on here about using screws? to hold Defender door cards on when the plastic bits moulded into the card are broke, like mine are now.
The search function is not working for me
Anyone got a how to?
This may help you.

I trimmed them level with a sharp Stanley. Drilled a small pilot hole and used black Drywall screws. Snip the screw with a pliers to about 5 threads or so. Most important is not to go through the card and appear out on the 'good' side.....

As above, but I used Flange Head Self Tappers like these SELF TAPPERS for obvious reasons.I've read it on here about using screws? to hold Defender door cards on when the plastic bits moulded into the card are broke, like mine are now.

Think I've got some of them as well. Weather permitting I'll be doing the job tomorrow after I've fetched a new latch and a new outside handle and fitted them.
Thankyou

Nah, the latch has failed locked, I've got to cut the Piller catch through to release the door to get the card off.
So I need a latch, a Piller catch and spacer and screws and an outside handle cos that broke as well. I've got the top corner of the card pulled back so I could try a wire hook on the latch to release it but it's having non of it.
Thought I might as well sort out the barely hanging on card while I'm in there.

That's a sickener
And, a tad ironic given that landy doors are just about the easiest for a tea leaf to get in to

Dry wall screws will rust over time. Better use a plated screw.
