The door bolts simply pass through the door and latch and screw into each other (as I explained above)

As for a repair to holes, personally think not needed as you will be drilling through these holes from one side to another How to use: Drill a hole through the door leaf, place door handle on the door to match up with the hole drilled and push the screw trough the door handle, door leaf the handle on the other side. Attach the sleeve and tighten up. Follow these instructions for all 4 holes in the door handle. The result is a handle securely fixed with screws that cannot be pulled through. Door handle sleeves, also known as escutcheon sleeves or rosettes, are decorative covers that surround the door handle and provide an aesthetic and protective element. They are typically circular or oval-shaped and are positioned against the door surface, surrounding the area where the handle connects to the door.The bolts will secure and clamp the handles to the door so that little damage is neither here nor there With a door handle with a round base, the screws are fairly short and tighten into the wood that's between the handle and the tubular latch Door handle sleeves are available in a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, or wood. They can be simple and plain or intricately designed, adding a decorative touch to the door handle.

The sleeve is secured in place by aligning it with the door handle screw holes and attaching it with screws that pass through the sleeve and into the door.

You need to drill these holes through accurately so they line up otherwise can be fiddly to get both sections of bolt to engage Used to fasten door handles, knobs, roses and escutcheons. These screws with sleeves are used to replace existing or damaged screws that attaches two handles together.Could do away with the latch and swap for one of these as its a stairs cupboard; (as an example only) Door handle screws and sleeves are essential components used to secure door handles onto the door surface.
