How to - REPAIR A LARGE HOLE in a masonite hollow core door

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

You either have time or you have money. If you have money, by all means hire a pro painter or carpenter and just replace the entire door panel. If you have time but little money, I will show you how to repair a large hole in a masonite door for around $15. Hopefully this will help tenants, DIY landlords, and home owners getting their home ready for the selling season. Also, visit this video for adding the wood grain studio.kzread.infolVa0...

    I watched the entire video without even having a broken door. I'm a handyman and I love to see new ideas! Having used all of these materials, I thought it was a brilliant idea. People complaining about the steps and wanting to buy a new door.. Sometimes $100 is out of reach and 3 days/$38 is all you have. Plus, making a repair that gets the job done is more satisfying than replacing the whole problem! Cheers!

    You can save some time on the two extra coats of Bondo by just going heavy enough above flush and start shaving it down with a heavy rasp or grater, in just a couple of minutes, before it gets hard. You have to work fast though, or it will be as hard as a rock in five minutes. You must get in to flush in less than five minutes and then just finish with 80 then 120 grit to smooth it.

    Now - when using Bondo - you have the luan for mixing - get another piece of luan big enough to completely cover the hole. Then, after applying the bondo to fill, cover it with the piece of luan and have WAX PAPER on the luan that comes in contact with the Bondo. Hold the luan/wax paper firmly against the surface - or you can use a staple gun to hold it in place around the perimeter (the holes are easy enough to spackle over later) When the Bondo heats up and firms up - after maybe ten minutes - remove the luan and peel off the wax paper - you will a GLASS SMOOTH surface on the Bondo!!! After it cures within an hour - you can sand it gently with 80 grit if needed. Of course spot sparkle if needed!! (35 yr handyman Northern California)

    Great idea. Here are some important points that were glossed over. Cut the foam with a knife once it dries as it makes it easier and gives you a more precise cut. Thoroughly read the directions on the BONDO can. You have a limited time to work with bondo. The more hardener you add to bondo above the suggested amount in the mix directions the faster it sets. Bondo sets in a few minutes but goes through a heat while doing so and becomes unworkable slightly before it sets. It will start to clump and it has a slight odor. So if you are sensitive to chemical smells take the door outside.

    You can’t get a 6 panel door with hinges and holes cut to match professionally for less than $70-80 at best. And property managers usually hire someone to install and then paint it. The average 6 panel door replacement is roughly $130-160. Even for a rental. Having someone do a decent patch and paint like this video is where you get a diy $25 fix or a handyman $60 repair special out of the tenants security deposit. So saying this guy isn’t helping or cost effective is ridiculous

    I had a hole in a door that I repaired this way and it worked well; however, the spray foam unexpectedly expanded a bit more over the course of a couple of weeks and pushed out the repair I'd made. Not really a huge deal, as I simply sanded it down again and renewed the repair. With that said, it was a bit of an irritation, but it was still easier and cheaper for me than replacing the door.

    Hello. I had some rust holes on my S-10 pickup. Cheaned the area with only a wire brush, then just filled the void with spray foam. Let it dry, took a steak knife and sawed off the unneeded part. Sanded the area almost flat, and added 2 coats of bondo ontop. Sanded till I got my desired affect. I can kisk the area as hard as I want, and the area's bodo didn't even budge. The heck with patching the area, from now on, spray foam is my #1 go to body work, home repair best friend. BullyBilly, Colorado.

Doors aren’t expensive but labor is for that many. I think I can fix most of them with this technique. I’ve already patched several large holes in walls with drywall pieces. This really encourages me. I can do this. It can only be an improvement.

We use spray foam to fill in the majority of the holes, and then go over them with wood putty. It doesn't shrink like drywall mud. If I can't find the wood putty I will definitely consider Bondo.

    you could put painters tape or aluminum tape over the hole on the door then cut a hole in the tape and spray the foam in. And use a lower expanding foam would work the best if anyone else is thinking of doing this.👍 A fiberglass filer would be a little bit more durable then bondo but great video

    I work at a door shop and am always amused when people bring in "repaired" hollow core doors. While I can appreciate the craftsmanship required to try to make this type of repair look good, the bottom line is that they NEVER look good and the repairs ALWAYS fail. Unless you are working with a style that is discontinued and unavailable, you will ALWAYS be light years ahead just replacing the slab.

    I've had pretty good luck cutting the foam with a hacksaw blade. I'd also be inclined to use joint filler instead of bondo, just because it's easier to sand. But, the bondo hardens faster and it's probably a little stronger. Good job!

    For the money invested and the time, buy new 6 panel and router new hinges. 2nd choice is to buy just the slab and cut one panel out on its natural body line where it goes into like an ogee edge. Cut the damage door panel off, but leave 1/2in reveal after the ogee edge. Put glue on the 1/2inch reveal and place the repair panel on top of the revealed edge. Tape it in place for an hour. This method saves hanging the slab.

    don't worry about the wood grain that's no longer embossed into that door section. A new hollow core door made to fit that frame by a door shop would run about $100, or you can spend $6 on spray foam, $15 on bondo, $8 on sand paper and about 3 hours your time making a repair that will crack out later. This might be good for very small repairs if a person has all the materials and tools already.

If this job was for a remote location, the multiple trips would be looser project. Time is money, even if the job was not remote.

    Having several rental properties I’ve had my share of broken doors. I have a cabinet shop and make all or most repairs myself. This is a good working idea but time and material cost, these doors are cheap and better in the long run to just replace the door. If the tenant breaks the door through neglect or anger, they pay for the door. Accidents happen but property damage through anger isn’t tolerated.

    If you are a tenant, definitely worth it.. new slab means picking out the slab/delivery oversized item, de-locking from old slab, de-hinging, re-locking to new slab, re-hinging.. the issue of the lock alone will shut the project down and you are out $80 per slab + labor on lock (likely more than the slab) You can re-use the bondo / sandpaper / paint for repairing base boards or door trim that have worn out to the particle too

    Thank you for the tutorial! I am easily annoyed with certain background music and yours didn’t bother me at all. Seems like a bunch of whiney men lol don’t worry about it! 😊

    Not whiny man. Just men who want to hear what he has to say instead of hearing this horrible music that drowns him out
