Good Morning Friends,
Running A little late as I had a busy day.
Finding knobs with custom - threaded studs can be a challenge.

How would/do you remedy the situation?

Respectfully,

Drill them out and re-tap the threads?

Use touch latches so you don't need knobs.

Why would you want different thread on them? It's simple enough to go to the local fastener warehouse and get longer/shorter/different finish/material screws/bolts/nuts/widgets. :confused:

Good Evening Friends,
Here is an easy way to make your own. Thread a 1/4 - 20 flathead machine screw of sufficient length completely into the knob and mark the threads immediately below the knob with a permanent marker. Back out the thread till you see the mark. Apply 5 minute epoxy to the threads above the mark.
Tighten the epoxied screw into the knob, and wipe off any squeeze out.

Thank you for your support.

Respectfully,
