Dendo 93 Posted July 29, 2016 1) Sweep the floor 2) Post a pic 3) Contact Burberry 4) Buy a selection of screws and try to get a fit 5) better questions = better answers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simms 1 Posted July 29, 2016 eBay sells assorted packs of screws. If can't find a fit contact the manufacturer. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyr 4 Posted July 29, 2016 Put a nylon stocking over the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner and go over the floor with it. Try holding a strong flash light at a low angle and get your head close to the floor while looking. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
