Thanks for the tip, it does look a bit odd that those bolts are peeking out a little, but don't think i have a tool for doing that (out of interest what do you normally use to do it?) to the metal handle. If i have something to use for it il do it :)

Assschually the square bit is for a square hole in metal plate, not the wood itself, so you dont have to hold the other end when tightening the but.

That being said ive misused them all kinds of ways

Doubt it, its low quality metal, claims to be outdoor, but I highly doubt it. But really the reason for going that far is because the shed and the door are wooden and when it rains, the door expands and becomes hard to open. So I wanted a handle I can really yank without worrying about pulling it out (unlike the pimple that was on there before). I do want to change this entire shed but being realistic its a 10-15 year plan budget wise, so the handle only needs to last until then.
