Doing a routine clean and lube on my french doors and found the bottom
locking mechanism strip a little loose. Tried to tighten the screws and a

Any ideas on how to close up the hole to give the screws another chance or
am I looking and drilling some fresh holes in the locking bar?

Had this on some windows, so used some stainless steel self-tappers from TS.
They were a bit bigger and 'bit' well in the same holes.
IIRC, oversize screws with the 'correct' thread are availabble.
