This screw here has been a pain, tried a Pan Phillips #8 with a washer underneath. The screw gets loose after a few loops. What is the correct size and washer/lock washer to use here?

Please and thank you for the help!

Yes, it screws in. Locktite, where to get it? Lowe's or Marco?

Update: Found locktite blue, screw finally fits...for now! Let's see what happens!

So the locktite worked at first, but last night the screw and washer vanished. Now the gate is loose....again. Does anyone know the correct size for that screw? Is it a specialty machine screw I can find on Marco or Lowe's?

Quoted from slochar:

The common sizes are going to be 6-32 8-32 or 10-32 for pinball machines. If it keeps getting loose is there something missing from that post? Like a rubber? You shouldn't be loosing this many screws. Might be time to replace the post it's on with something else, or add something in front of it to prevent direct whacking of the post (which I'd assume is causing it to loosen up).

Well here is the weird part: this screw doesn't have a post. It goes straight into the plastic since it holds up that bar gate. Do I need a lock washer as well for this plastic?

10 4. So an 8 32 should have and 8 32 locknut, correct? I'm just asking since I have tried matching washeres (such as Pan Phillips #8 with #8 washer, etc) and that lead me nowhere.
