Took my doors off for a month. Have since put them back on..... but after a couple of days my door starts creaking again. Telling me my screws are loose. I keep tightening them. Moderatley tight, but it keeps happening. Anyone else experience this????
Thanks

A drop or two of loctite. In a pinch, a drop or two of super glue. Doesn't work as well but comes off easy enough. Don't go overboard or you'll have to warm the bolt up a bit to get it off. Loctite is also easier to clean up when it comes time to reapply.

I also noticed a door that was popping after having my doors off and reinstalling them. Haven't had it come back yet.

I had the same problem. I will add a small bead of blue Loctite.

Yep. Moderately tight doesn’t cut it. Is there a torque spec by chance?
