Y'only lost one. Take another one to the hardware store and match it up. Write the size down in your notebook. Problem. Solved!

It's not like you had them all out, and lost the whole batch...

You could probably pick one up at your local junkyard for almost nothing. while you are there......you could get a few extras insurance.

See how easy that was? I could have told you (there's a list of screw sizes on my site,) but you wouldn't have learned anything from it.

You were still in a position to match up one of the screws you had, so that simplified things for you...
