Filling screw holes on composite doors

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.47 PM

My composite front door has one of those fab & fix door knockers with peephole. Ideally I would like to remove it and install in its place a RING door cam with peephole. However, I am told that once the door knocker is fully removed, it would leave 4 screw holes that cannot be filled in composite (or uPVC) doors. The RING door cam is much smaller, so it may cover some of the screw holes, but I doubt it will cover all of them. So I am stuck, as I need to remove the current door knocker to install the RING door view cam, but that would leave exposed screw holes on my front door. Any ideas/ solutions?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi - The only option I would rely on to obtain the best results would be a company that carries out smart repairs. They have all of the necessary filling, graining and colour match options, along with the relevant skills to produce very good (though not necessarily perfect) results, but good enough to not to be noticed by the untrained eye, for a reasonable cost. Hope this helps.

Although I agree that the way to go, in this case? A "magic Man" "invisible mend" type professional is definitely the best, and perhaps only way to get an invisible mend? I must stress the cost would be quite expensive. What I mean is, perhaps £200 to £300 might seem expensive for this? But obviously it's the customers choice? Thanks

Don’t try to fill them just cover them with a backing plate made of metal, plastic or what ever suits the door. Then mount the ring cam on the plate.

I was going to say the magic man myself. Other then that you can buy wax repair kits but I would recommend a professional.
