Re: Screw keeps coming loose

"Chris may or may not agree with me, but I'd go farther and say that the only way a screw can keep working loose like that is if it *is* binding somewhere, because to work loose something has to be turning it."

That's the bit I forgot to add. Bect way to check this is to disengage the spring and screw the screw back in, then see if the ring key moves freely under its own weight (hold the joint horizontally and rotate it or press and let go of the key foot and see if the ring keys fall open and closed). If the ring keys stay put or feel very resistant, that's the root of the problem and the ring keys will need refitting.
