Lock set screw

Quick Learner
As you can see this is missing a set screw I cannot identify who is the manufacturer of this product there's no name on the hardware I asked the people to check in the corners to see if there's any etching for anything and I haven't heard back. I need a set screw. Some kind of handyman came and touch the lock took the screw out and now the lock moves back and forth and they're having very hard time locking it. It's young girls living in the house and it's a pretty vulnerable room. Any help would be appreciated or any suggestions on possible sizes thank you

Hello,

We'd be happy to look into this for you but no photos came through with your post. It sounds like you may be referring to a type of door lock. If so, we would need to see photos of the entire assembly to determine what repair options are available. Thank you!

I'm hoping you can identify this lock. WhatI need is a set screw for it (circled area with no screw). Evidently they had a handyman come to take a look at it and he took out the most important screw & never put it back. I'm also hoping you can identify the lock for me. I could always pull it out and measure it but if I know the company that made the handles then I'll know what size lock I need. If not can you identify what company this is because I have not been able to. I originally thought it was Anlin but it's not. Thank you

Unfortunately, we are not familiar with the door or handle set shown in your photos. My first thought would be to take the handle set and lock to a locksmith in your area. The screw you are missing looks like the set screw that secures the key cylinder in the lock. I find that these screws are not the kind stocked in a regular hardware store. The set screws have a special thread count and, in some cases, they are a metric screw.

Thank you I'm actually a locksmith and yes they do have special thread counts and special screws for the doors. I can't find out who made this door there's no etching there's no name. The client doesn't know who they got it from. Thank you though I appreciate your help
