My neighbor has this stove and asked me to fix the door handle. It looks to me like the latch screws into the handle before you tighten the set screw, but the threads are all messed up. Anybody recognize this stove and can confirm the handle function so I can get get her fixed up?

Looks like some kind of hearthstone stove. Is there an ID tag in the back?
 
That or try a piece of aluminum foil as a shim to take up room and give something soft for the threads to bite into.

Can you just chase the threads?
Looks like the bottom threads on the "pin" part are smashed. See if you can clean those up.
 
The threads on both parts are more damaged than that pic suggests. I don’t see them getting cleaned up. She has manhandled this for so long it just needs replacing.
