For all you out there that stripped out the handle, and you know who you are, trust me I know.... LOL!!

Get yourself a shoulder bolt to fit the existing dia. and drill a larger hole for the shoulder.

Works like a charm....

Nice fix. I had the same problem when there was too much slop on the handle when I installed it on my new Cajun bandit SS door. I over tightened the screw and the brass ferrel loosened up and came out. I ended up epoxying the ferrel back in and added an extra washer on the other side of the door. It works fine now.
 
Hey Ron, thanks for the post.
When you get a chance, can you provide a shot of the inside of the door with the catch mechanism?

Thanks. :)
 
OK here ya go, the flat washer goes on first on the handle then the wavy washer into the door.

on the inside the latch clip goes on first up against the door then a flat washer, a lock washer and finally the nut. If you drill a counter sunk hole for the shoulder bolt it looks factory (see above photo) and will never strip out again.
Hope this helps.
 
Looks great !!!
Next time my handle goes out that is what i will do =)
Thank you for sharing.
