interlock bracket 82-057

Question

The screws will not hold.  I have tried plastic plugs.  I have also tried super glue.  The screws will then hold until the door is closed a few times.  I have thought about drilling through the door and putting a bolt through it.  Any ideas?

It sounds like the holes are stripped. My first suggestion would be to try larger screws first. See if those get better traction. A local hardware store can suggest the right kind for your door. If that doesn't work, then drilling new holes would be the best option. Just take great care not to hit any glass if you have to do this.
