How to fix drill hole in metal desk
Just bring that original screw to a hardware store (I would say for you NOT to go to a &quot;big-box&quot; store because it might be helpful for you to speak to a human for assistance) and ask for a *sheet metal screw&quot; that is approximately the same diameter. A sheet metal screw will be a threaded screw not unlike your original, but will be pointed and is designed to carve its own thread into the metal as you drive it in. Sheet metal screws will not &quot;tap&quot; new threads which would allow you to use a machine screw like your original, but it should drive in and hold just fine.
