Door handles loose on door

[somerandomguy1]

Good afternoon,

Car painter guy installed a door handles on front door and it is loose in door.

Went back to car painter guy and he said that perhaps a fix would be to put loctite on a nut inside the door so it won't be loose- wouldn't that make dissambly of door handles in future difficult because of loctite on door handle inner nut. How can I fix problem?

Thanks

that guy lost some of the screws behind, in the door; i've replaced it on 2000 Camry twice and those screws that come with the handle should secure it down; I don't think there is a lot of difference between a Camry and other Japanese car of the same era

I wouldn't put loctite. What car is this? Obviously he didn't tighten up whatever holds the handle in place. Maybe the nuts fell off and are inside the door. You need one of those magnetic snakes to try and retrieve them (if you are lucky).

Are you able to removed the inner door panel and do this type of repair?

looks like 1 screw holding it, and the others he probably dropped down into the door cavity.
