rescrew
Reattach with threads
To rescrew is to screw something again—typically refastening a screw that has loosened or been removed: I had to rescrew the cabinet hinges after they worked loose.
The word applies to any repeated screwing action, whether tightening hardware or reattaching a screw-top lid.
