    Grub screw fell out of door handle. I put it back in by hand but put it upside down by mistake and now cant get it out again. Any tips to get it out!? I need to get it out to put it in the right way to fully tighten it.

    Toothpick with superglue? Cut the point off stick and unscrew? Clean off with a knife etc after?

    Take off the door-handle and try manipulate it from the inside of the spindle bar (if it comes out of the handle, that is)?

    i would be reluctant to use glue incase you stick it solid.

    i would usee some blue tack or double sided tape on the end of the allen key . all it needs is enough to grip it softly. pushing up will make it very hard to turn
