I have some aluminum trim pieces on the bottom of my doors with I think #10 or 12 stainless screws that go into the door sheet metal and they come loose once and a while. I haven't had any problems with any bolts coming loose but some blue Loctite wouldn't hurt.

Yer in Cali son......dunna worry bout it

vibration has no care about location



these new door handles come with a set screw allen to run a nut to tighten the handle.

seems kinda chincy to me, ill be going to the hardware store and grabbing some metric bolts.
