Default storm door closer: pin?

My storm door closer has a pin that attaches the closer to the bracket
mounted on the door. The pin will occasionally work itself out.

I'd like to replace the pin with something that won't do that. I had
thought of a pin with a hole for a cotter pin, but there's not all
that much available.

Any suggestions? I thought maybe something some threads at the end,
but I'm not sure what kind of nut I can use that won't come off easily.


a) Drill hole in the one you have if long enough
b) Make one out of stove bolt if can't find right size (which would seem
fairly unlikely in a decent hardware selection)
c) Nylok nut would work fine if don't drill...
