I installed a fiberglass door for the people entrance into the garage, from the outside. The door came with a brick molding and sill. There is space between the brick molding and the brick on the outside. See the photos. You can see the old caulk where the old wood pieces used to be. What do I do to cover the space? Do I use spray foam or would it be better to place wood pieces in there, and caulk them, to prevent water from coming through the cracks or do both? Thank you!

The white line is the caulk which helped seal in the old wood piece that was there.[/i] [i]Looking at the top right corner of the door, from the outside. The top is the existing wood piece that I've left in place. The right is the brick, and the caulk line is shown, where the old wood piece was. [/i]

I recently had to replace a pocket door latch because the old one broke. I found the exact replacement. I've replaced these before without issue. But now I have a problem. The latch is held in place by 4 screws. There is not enough wood behind one of the screws for the screw to gain purchase. (In other words, I have a screw loose.) It is circled in red in the first photo. The screw hole is circled in the second photo. You can see light coming through the screw hole. This is a problem because the inability to tighten that one screw causes the metal plate not to be tight against the door, so it rubs against the inside of the pocket door slot and gets stuck. I've tried various plastic screw hole menders & wall anchors and none of them work; the screw remains loose. I'd be grateful for any ideas.
