Golf Tees Fix Stripped Screw Holes

If the latches and strike plates on your doors can no longer be tightened, you can use a golf tee to renew the hole into which the screw threads.  Remove the old screw, insert the tee, tap the tee until it is snug, and then break off the tee flush with the wood.  Then, reinstall the screw.  If needed, use a little wood glue on the tee; but that isn't always necessary.

You can use this idea on just about any hole you find that is stripped out!
