Re: Screw keeps coming loose

If the ring keys bind up solid when you screw the screw back in, then you'll need to get the screw fitted properly by having the end of the ring key rod countersunk slightly deeper so it fits properly - this has to be done by someone with the proper countersink and the key should move freely without the spring being hitched in place.

But if the screw can be tightened fully and the ring keys move freely, then a small drop of Loctite on the screw thread will keep it in place.
