[QUOTE="Knifemaker, post: 820152, member: 1075"] The loctite is suggested because over time, even if torqued tight, the screws seem to loosen up from vibration, so I suggest using loctite to others even if you wish not to. You can buy thin teflon washers at many Lowes stores, I think these might work too. If I understand this right, the metal plate is keeping the lock from falling out, meaning if the screws fall out and the metal plate falls off, the lock will fall out to. That gap controlls the "looseness" of the lock cylnder in the bags clasp then right? How does it get tighter over time? Is it gauling up the plastic...thus decreasing that gap? Luckily I have not had a problem with tight locks, but I also think that when I turn the key I am pushing the key in...which may be taking the pressure off that plate. Thanks for the tip however, it may come in handy later. KM [/QUOTE]
