McMaster-Carr? see p/n 93482A691 at www.mcmaster.com for example. The
bracket for the closer has ripped off my screen/storm door again and
this is the only thing I can think of that might provide a permanent
repair.

I have two kits like this one made by Marson:

I bought them at NAPA. The company slaps one
of their brand name labels on the case but
they're identical. I used to build glass
storefronts and install automatic doors so
the tools are a must for that sort of work.
With all the things I build and repair, I
couldn't get along without them. I also have
a few cheaper ones from Harbor Freight. NAPA
stores stock the Riv-Nuts and Poly-Nuts. I
frequent several hardware suppliers in my area
that stock different brand threaded inserts
but they all work well. Darn, I just remembered
another source for all kinds of the things,
it's CRL C.R. Laurence Co., Inc.
