Step-by-Step: How to Repair a Hole in a Door

Repairing a hole in a wooden or hollow-core door is a DIY-friendly task. Start by cleaning out the hole and sanding the area. For hollow doors, fill the hole with expanding foam or a patch kit. Once dry, cut away the excess, apply spackle or wood filler, and sand until smooth. Finish with primer and paint to restore the look.
