Just go to an optician and ask them for a screw, and could they counterpunch the bottom for you -- geoff |

Kevin My local pound shop (poundland) has spectacle repair kits, including screws for, you guessed it, a pound That's where I got the screws for my husband's spectacles. He was forever losing the screw, always from the same side - I deduced that it's the way he takes his glasses off, putting stress on the same side all the time. The screw is more likely to stay in place if you drop a blob of clear nail varnish on it, once it's in place... So much good advice so soon. I will follow all these up. I hadn't thought about it but I have the same problem, always the same side and beinf right handed I take them off from the RHS. I will try the nail varnish trick. Kevin |

Kevin ================================== I've given up on the screws. I now use a short length of stiff wire. Bend at 90 degrees, insert into hinge and bend the other end to 90 degrees with a pair of pliers. Totally secure and almost invisible.

Having been trained as a surgical instrument maker, I use a very small hammer and dome the exposed end of the thread. It will never come out and you can still use the screw head to adjust the friction. Colin Bignell |
