Door handle on a sliding door has come loose, and while the screws are holding onto the handle itself, they wont hold onto the door anymore, so when you pull the handle, the thing comes off in your hand.

 

Any ideas on how to get this cursed thing to stay attached without replacing it all ? :D Its been like this for years and we've just put up with it.

Move the handle about 10mm (15mm?) left/right/up/down to avoid the existing screw holes - then drill and screw into fresh aluminium. You can probably do this to avoid the old screw holes showing.

 

I would not use any type of adhesive - it just won’t last.
