I bought a new door and when I got it home I found it had a hole in it. I used your tip and filled it perfectly. NOW I CAN'T FIND WHERE TO PUT THE DOOR KNOB ! ! !
My husband got mad and punched the door. Later on, I got mad and punched the door. Now we’re about to move out and need our deposit back, my friend said put a clear tape and paint it with the same color. Any thoughts about this?
I am a carpenter and hanging doors is kinda my specialty . In 'this ' situation patching like demonstrated is a fantastic solution . All these comments about cheaper to get a new door is just ridiculous . Good luck trying to get one that matches a door that was made maybe 20years ago , so then you got to paint anyway. Thats only the first hurdle , a whole world of pain exists after that if you dont know what you are doing . Then after all that you have to dump the old door. Brilliant solution right here !! Thank you sir .
Good idea about the foam as a filler but, given time and the expense of the repair, I would look into buying one of those doors as they are really cheap. Especially if all the other doors are unpainted. Having one door painted would make it stick out like a sore thumb. None the less, I do like the foam idea.
Take it from a landlord with experience... Use solid wood interior doors, and this problem never arises. If that's too cost prohibitive, then only put solid wooden doors on interior doors that lock (such as bathroom doors)... This is because, damage such as this most often occurs on these doors as it is usually one tenant locking themselves in to escape from another enraged tenant during a domestic argument, with the latter hammering the door in rage/frustration.
How would I modify this to repair a crack in the door? Would just filler work? I punched my door and it cracked and made a dent but not a complete hole.
Thanks for sharing this repair tip. The door I have is not a standard size and to buy a new one would cost me in the $200 range to have it made by a carpenter. Thanks for sharing
Ok, so I have a table the exact. Color so I need to what, find what to match? You had me until it stopped before I could see how to make it all match again! Thanks for the video!!
Thank you - my manchild brother in his 20s punched the hollow door next to the computer (I'm pretty sure cuz league of legends), and I fixed it thanks to your video :) thank you
Wow people keep talking about just buy a new door. You have to go get it and the mortise the hinges and fit the door. Then you have to bore a hole for the lockset and latch. Mortise in the latch. Most people can't do this very efficiently and it would take them all day. This fix is easy. Foam takes 2 min Cut foam and spackle 5 min Spackle next day 2 min Sand 2 min 11 minutes labor vs all day for your average homeowner. Even a carpenter is going to have 2 hrs labor and another hour going to get the door.
I’ve had to do this before on a rental. I use a hacksaw blade to cut the foam and a dremel with a sanding drum. Instead of using spackel we used bonds fiberglass it was a little stronger
I know this is an older video, so you may not see my comment. But in the end when you use the primer that shows the stain as white....what did you use after that to get the brown stain finish like you see on the rest of the door that was undamaged..hope to hear back, Thanks!
Hi thanks had a similar comment recently ! These doors were painted white. I’m working on a couple of videos which will show how to repair hollow desks and wood grain doors 👍
This is very specific type of hole repair! Will this technique work on other types of holes in hollow core doors? Such as foot holes, or elbow holes, and last but not least, forehead holes? Good work by the way thanks for the vid!
Hi Ambrose, I think it might work for all methods of inflicted damage, by most body parts used to damage poor battered doors! whether accidental or by anger this abuse needs to stop. Without doors our world would be a sad place full of innacessable rooms and buildings. its time some one designed doors that fight back and are capable of defending themselves, smart doors maybe ?
I actually cut the whole skin off. It was so time consuming. I bought a new skin (thin wood) , cut it to size, and glued the new one in place. I didn't have much money back then and there was no youtube. I stained it the same color and it looked perfect. When you finally finished how did you get the grain of the wood to blend in?
thanks for the video my boyfriend kcked a hole in our bedroom door iv been worried not knowing how i was gonna fix it so yes this vid is great THANK YOU
Justine Talmadge if your boyfriend kicked a hole in your bedroom door probably a good idea to leave his violent arse and before his kicks a hole in you
What do you do when it's a big hole. Like the size of the face or a gallon gas jug and I mean all the way through. I mean I blew both sides of this door off, can you patch that?
Those doors are £20 in the Uk. As long as it is a standard size, it’s around 1-2 hours to swap furniture and hang. Not having to paint it also saves time.
I was practicing a punch and when I tried it a different way, I wasn’t mindful of the reach. Not only did I punch a hole in the door, but also shoved the doorknob through the drywall 😔
I probably would not have watch this if I would have known you were just going to paint it. I thought you were going to show us some cool stain trick. Good idea on the foam though
@@Instone09ine would there be a way for you to stain/blend the damaged area back to the original color of the door? Do you have any videos showing that? thanks for the reply! very helpful
This guy is a fucking god. He is the only tutorial I saw for what I needed. I (out of anger) punched the door and my parents got mad at me and said that I have one week to find ideas on how to repair the door or else I would be grounded please do not delete the vid
Alex Palafox Usually I am not on this side of TH-cam...but my brother said " I was lazy" and made a crack in the door (MY bedroom door) and this video help out a lot too!
what i did was switch doors with my brothers toy room door (he is 5) then if my dad saw the crack i could say it was from a toy plus its in the perfect spot to blame it on a toy hitting it Edit: don't recommend really hard took 2hrs
To be perfectly frank, a loaf of bread thrown across the room can break a hollow door like this. I know. I did it. Threw a loaf of bread to my kid who missed the catch and the bloody loaf caused a hole like this one, but smaller in a closet's door. I hate living in crap quality rentals, that charge high rent.
I don't see more than $10 worth of materials there, and the time is trivial if you are an owner or maintenance guy, and are there regularly anyway. Now what's the labor for installing a $20 door; you don't really expect the hardware and hinges to be in the same place, do you? You'll be lucky if the new one goes in without trimming or shimming the edges.
Too right! I hate installing new doors in existing frames. I would much prefer taking 4-5 minutes a day for two days like this guy did. Spraying some foam and doing a little sanding is way more appealing than trying to fit a new door.
The hardest part is matching the stain color wich i imposible. So you will end up and resand, repaint the whole entire the door instead of just filling up the hole plus 3 days: 1 day to wait fir the foam to dry, 1 day for the filler to dry, 1 day of sand a crap out of it and paint. This might take 2 days . So 4 days to fix that door. Labor and material....... tjis is only worth it if the door has a paint coat instead of stain like in this clip
Please tell me where you are getting these doors for $20, people commenting? I can't find a hollow door for under $80 that matches the other doors in my house.
I got a square of thin ply, laid it over the hole... then using a steel rule and Stanley knife cut through both layers... glued the new square into new hole like a jigsaw piece. A little wood filler and... sorted!
Soudal makes several brands of expanding foams, door and window gap fill etc. Since they and several other companies don't say if they are a low expanding foam which particular properties in the foam are we looking for.
My son slammed his motorized skateboard into my coffee table trying to turn it off at 60 mile per hour. It made the same hole as in this video. I am devastated.Table very unique and cannot be replaced.
depending how big the hole is just put quick set glue on the ends of a couple tongue depressers or some other wood, cardboard even, and slip them into the hole for backing ... that's what I do with holes in drywall, I'm guessing it would work for a door.
1 can of expanding foam $13, 1 small bucket of drywall mud $8 plus three days of work. Orrrr.... 1 door skin $20 and 1 hour install and paint. Hmmmmm...

Plz help me wat i cn do my husband also punched nd it becm like dis

Said he was painting all doors anyway so 🤷
So would this type of filler or wood filler be better for fixing the hole in my desk? It’s like particle board type wood.
Making the video for you right now it should be ready for tomorrow 👍

You could try to get some glue in the crack first . remove any excess before it dries then overfill it the sand and repaint.

Wow people keep talking about just buy a new door. You have to go get it and the mortise the hinges and fit the door. Then you have to bore a hole for the lockset and latch. Mortise in the latch. Most people can't do this very efficiently and it would take them all day. This fix is easy. Foam takes 2 min
Cut foam and spackle 5 min
Spackle next day 2 min
Sand 2 min
11 minutes labor vs all day for your average homeowner. Even a carpenter is going to have 2 hrs labor and another hour going to get the door.
Jim H and a carpenter will charge you $150-200 plus material costs.

What do you do when it's a big hole. Like the size of the face or a gallon gas jug and I mean all the way through. I mean I blew both sides of this door off, can you patch that?
Cover one side of the hole with masking tape, apply the expanding foam wait for it to set , remove the masking tape fill and paint 😊
Those doors are £20 in the Uk. As long as it is a standard size, it’s around 1-2 hours to swap furniture and hang. Not having to paint it also saves time.
They're $80 in the US. Could have that in putty, foam, tools, and paint/stain.

Hi Hulk thats brilliant :)
With the door ripped off it's hinges by the hulk's blow, it would be more of a dent than a hole...
So i had a fight with my brother and i made a huge hole on the closet drywall, should i do this method and just add cardboard behind the foam?

what is the product your using?
$50 & 2 days to fix a $20 door.
No Future 68 $60
$50? Damn where are you buying your supplies? It seems like this repair should run like 20-30
Lowes or HD, new hollow core door is $35 or $38 if you want the mortises cut.
I don't see more than $10 worth of materials there, and the time is trivial if you are an owner or maintenance guy, and are there regularly anyway. Now what's the labor for installing a $20 door; you don't really expect the hardware and hinges to be in the same place, do you? You'll be lucky if the new one goes in without trimming or shimming the edges.

Would this method work even if the hole is huge and goes through to the other side of the door (see through)? Thanks!
Sounds like a big hitter there ! yes it should be fine, you might have to foam fill from both sides but the method should work.
good luck.
Just convert that hole into a pet door.
Then you put a window in it
depending how big the hole is just put quick set glue on the ends of a couple tongue depressers or some other wood, cardboard even, and slip them into the hole for backing ... that's what I do with holes in drywall, I'm guessing it would work for a door.

Lost a controller , punched the shit out my door , slammed it , ripped it off. I have to stop playing.
will have to do this, the door attacked me last night. had to defend myself. would you advise painting the whole frame aswell?
no, under no circumstances paint the frame that's illegal
i mean the frame is white, i was wondering if it would stand out atall.
yes you could paint the frame too as the white frame may have yellowed a bit :)
