Default Door lock *****

The aftermarket door lock ***** on my 08 GT/CS are loose fitting and eventually get to the point that when I lock the door the door lock **** prevents the lock from locking.
I'm looking for a lock **** that has a set screw in it to prevent the **** from working itself down on the threads. Does anyone know were i can find ***** with a set screw..........I cant find any in my search?
Thanx for any info.

I just stuffed some tiny ***** of wet paper into the thread holes on mine and tamped them down with a long matchstick (like loading an old musket). A little experimenting with paper quantity and you can fill up the excess thread space so the ***** can't screw down farther than is functional. Easy, nearly free, and better looking than set screws.
