Small dent on my door. How do i fix it?

Question

I made a small dent on my mom's walk in closet door by opening her room's door. Theyre right next to each other, so since her closet door was open I ended up making a dent with the lock of her door that's sticking out. I looked up the price on Home Depot for a brand new door and the one that looks similar to it is like $120. can i get it fixed under half that price?

Answer 1

You could try to patch it with wood putty and then maybe touch up the paint. I would recommend that you go to Home Depot and show one of the store associates your door type in their catalog, explain the trouble and ask for their recommendations. The answer on the approach to take will vary depending on the door finish and materials. They might even recommend a local subcontractor who could help with the repair rather than replace the door.

Answer 2

depends what door it is and if it is painted or stained. if it is painted then get some filler and patch it up and repaint it , you might have to get a sample of the paint from the door to show the paint shop so they can match it.
