Replace or repair internal door

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.41 PM

I have a damaged bedroom door. The housing for the door lock is damaged as if someone has pushed the door and the wood area around the lock has come away. Is ther a way the patch up the area that has the same strength as normal or do i just replace the door.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

If it is a standard hollow internal door of moulded fire door just replace it, internal doors are fairly cheap and repairs to these dont work. If it is a solid wood door it is possible to repair to a reasonable standard however there is the cost of labour(cutting out broken area, fixing, Sanding down door for clean consistant finnish, painting/varnishing) and cost of materials. Unless it is an antique or bespoke door I wouldnt bother. Regards Callum Murray Rockingham C&GB

Yes , it would be simpler to replace door unless antique or bespoke.
