Old wooden door repair.
Depending on the location and extent of wood damage you may or may not have to disassemble the door to carry out a repair.
Press the form against the filler and attach it with screws.
Cut a block of wood that is slightly larger than the area you measured.
Lay the door flat on your sawhorses.
Then pull it off after the filler hardens.
Or you can wait until the sagging filler reaches the hardness of soap and carve it off with a putty knife or chisel or shape it with a surform plane or rasp photo 2.
Remove the hinges by taping the pins upwards with the help of a flat head screwdriver.
Our current inventory of antique interior doors includes entry doors cabinet doors commercial doors closet doors standard doors french doors and pocket doors.
Place the new block of wood over the area you need to repair and trace the outline on the surface of the door.
Measure the repair area.
The door should now slide out from the hinges.
Most medium to large repairs will require at least two layers of filler.
