My storm door closer has a pin that attaches the closer to the bracket

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.
Go to a big box or hardware store and look in one of those slide out
compartmented screw boxes that usually have a few each of odd parts
and see if you can find a push nut or push on cap nut. If you replace
your pin with a threaded screw, it could lead to premature wear of
the pivot point. Here are some links to give you an idea of what I'm
referring to.
