At least you can knock on wood after that ingenious fix. Nicely done!

I would make the person that made the hole buy me a new door ! 👍 I've had no luck with those CA glues too. Your repair is a good fix Rudy! Thanks for showing!

I was missing the Smoogg and feather steps lol ... Thanks man! This was actually very helpful. I was doing it all wrong.

How come you didn’t pre drill the shims before you glued them inside the door? Just curious because I’m about to try it this way and didn’t know if you thought that would be a good idea.

Well, heck, stop hitting the door with a hammer and save yourself some work. Nice job, again, Rudy.

Several good ideas. I dont understand why you filled the door with foam. surly the glued wood sticks are at least as strong (and more than strong enough for the repair) alone. I think the foam is a good idea if the reason for the hole remains, and you need a stronger door at the location, but otherwise, the rest of the door is still just as week as it was.
