How to Fix a Hole in a Hollow-Core Door |
If you have a hollow-core door with a serious hole in it, consider replacing the entire door; hollow-core doors are modestly priced.
You can repair a hole if you're willing to paint the door to hide the patch. To do this, you'll need a can of spray foam insulation.
1) Fill the hole with the foam.
2) Let it dry and expand overnight.
3) Use a razor blade to slice off the excess, cutting the mound just slightly lower than the door's surface.
4) With a 3-inch putty knife, apply vinyl spackling compound to the patch and draw it smooth to the door's surface. Allow it to dry.
5) Sand the area lightly with fine sandpaper and then paint.
