How to Fix a Damaged Wood Door |
|
There are many methods for repairing or restoring woodwork, and they work just as well for all-wood doors. You can sand out minor scratches, fill gouges with wood putty, replace rotted or broken sections with epoxy filler or by gluing in a new piece, and so on.
If a panel in a Colonial-style door is cracked or split, you may be able to reglue it without removing it from the rest of the door.
If you have to remove a panel or replace it completely, try prying off the mouldings that surround it and hold it in place. On some panel doors the mouldings are routed in and can't be removed.
In this case, one option is to cut away these integral mouldings carefully. After you've fixed the panel, buy new mouldings to match the rest of the door's trim.
