I'll go to my local hardware and ask for the device you describe. Based on when I can get a handyman out to do it, my back door will still be off when the snow flies. Well, borrowing a figure of speech from my friends in the north . . . Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. And if I succeed in drilling a hole in a screw, I'll definitely let you know. Pat

O.T.To Pat and al@householdhints.com, " easy out " can also be used when a lawnmower breaks your sprinkler heads.You can remove the old heads and put a new one on. Cost to you ~ US$ 7, and after you buy the easy out, $ 1 to buy sprinkler head tubing. If you call somebody, ~ $30+ <VBG>, TA .T. - To remove an embedded screw with a broken or damaged head drill a hole in the screw and use a device called an "easy out" which should be available at any good hardware store. It is a small tapered screw with a left hand thread and is specifically designed for this purpose. All homeowners should have a set of three in different sizes. al@householdhints.com
