Keep screws from coming loose

If you have screws that keep coming loose, a simple way to keep that from happening is to wrap the threads of the screw with a single layer of masking tape. This usually keeps screws from coming loose. If the screw still keeps coming loose, start adding additional layers of masking tape until it stays in place.
