Should I use caulk with a T-style door holder?
I want to replace a broken plastic T-style door holder with a metal one. Do I need to use caulk when I screw it on?

Hedge,
What nobody has explained is that if you leave a small void, water can get in there. If water can get in there, it can freeze in there. If it can freeze once, it can freeze larger the next time.
I boat work, this is called "bedding" something and it is essential to a proper fitting of anything.
Butyl stuff is great because it never hardens and you want it to stay flexible forever.
