How To Repair A Hole In Metal Door

[@mgtupload3836]

Ty Jim! Proud to say I patched a hole from an old door knob because of your vid! Can’t stop staring at my work right now haha

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Fantastic!

[@marybeththompson1088]

Thank you Jim! Another awesome repair video ... you already helped me replace my 2010 Highlander brakes and now helped me repair our metal doors. Thanks again! -- Jon

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Great to hear!

[@annsmith5142]

I would be lost without your excellent videos! Thanks!

[@ashleighlanyi8491]

I just bought my first house and my front door has a hole in it from the old door knob and your video was so incredibly helpful! I’m confident I can fix it now!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Glad it helped! Just remember to sand the repair so it is perfect other wise it will show through when painted. Thanks for watching.

[@ForeverSongMinistries]

The best vid I found on repair a hole in a metal door. Installed a new door handle last week. The new one is slightly shorter than the previous one. So I need to cover the drill hole. I need to paint the door anyways. Very helpful!!!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Glad it helped.Thanks for watching.

[@jorgealfaro2939]

Thanks Jim.. this really helped me at my job.. I’m a maintenance but always looking for new way to make things happen! And this is one thing that I had to do on a door frame! Thank you

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Glad to help

[@debbiebirdsall1547]

This helped me out so much. I never used bondo before so I was pretty nervous when I first started the project but the door looks great and is ready for paint!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Glad it helped!

[@lonwillis783]

Bondo fixes everything!Thank you Jim!

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Nice Job Jim! Looks good!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

All those years of doing body work paid off . Hahaha

[@hannahmann1541]

Can you use Bondo glazing and spot putty from ace hardware for this job? And what kind of tool were using where you hammered first?

[@nikijohnson7995]

This was so helpful...thank you!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tutone001]

Thank you! This worked like a champ

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Glad it helped!

[@anitar4270]

What is the tool called you used to recess the hole using the hammer?

[@jordanlawson6132]

Anita That’s a “punch” They come in all sizes and styles. That was a very common flat faced punch you can get it in a little set at Home Depot, Lowe’s, harbor freight for $10-20

Great video!

[@stephenzies8867]

Great Job Jim !

[@getitdonehomerepair]

stephen zies thanks for watching it looks great

[@jkellynorton]

This video was great! Everything worked fine for us except the bondo with gardener keeps showing through. We did two coats of primer then two coats of blue paint and thought we were done. Woke up this morning and the bondo is showing through. We just primed again. Is this normal?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

No that is not normal. The only thing I can think of is that the bondo was not sanded to be even with the door. Thanks for watching.

[@TheKidBrothers]

How long did it take you ?

[@palomarodriguez3308]

So question, what is the purpose of the denting?

[@dt3550]

To create a void to fill it

[@austinhilbun3069]

Thank you, great video.

[@pierome9]

HI, What kind of Primer did you apply ? Did you ever apply a White Porcelain paint ?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Just a regular primer that you would by at a big box store.

[@CraftyCuriosity]

Thank you

[@ryancoleman3109]

Very nice!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Thanks for the visit

[@obamahater666]

What kind of paint did you use?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

I used a semi gloss interior paint

[@xiddenxngel]

Thank you good sir

[@getitdonehomerepair]

You're welcome

[@squidskis9120]

Can you spot paint the door, or did you repaint the entire door?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

I did paint the whole door.

[@TheMickeymental]

I wonder if J B weld would work?

[@handyhands6773]

Helllo my friend what type of paint did you use. I have a metal door and it didn't come out like this.

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Did you prime the door first or just paint it? Don't forget to subscribe.

[@drseuss8589]

You can use a foam fun and shoot some foam in the holes, then after it has expanded dig a little out, then fill with Bondo

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Thanks for watching.

[@drseuss8589]

@@getitdonehomerepair thanks to people like you making cool videos

[@drseuss8589]

We had a guy accidently install the wrong brackets on bath partitions, they tried to fill to holes and touch up paint and ordered new dividers before I could tell them to just order more of the large back wall brackets brackets, 2 other guys at the company had the same idea : )

[@nascenta]

That's what i do for drywall

[@bigwrestlingfan3365]

Will bondo fix rust holes in a steel door?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Yes it will but you should remove the rust before doing the repair or it will come back.

[@johnair22]

잘 봤습니다. 많은 도움이 되네요. 감사합니다.

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Thanks for watching.

[@TheKidBrothers]

How long does this actual repair take?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

From start to finish about an hour plus the time to paint.

[@jawoo0326]

There's a wall clock mounted right next to the door that is shown throughout the video. Provides an excellent time reference! 👍

[@AlexOliveGrove]

Good job!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@aslbyweller]

Looks perfect

[@getitdonehomerepair]

It looks like a new door again

[@pats1373]

You would get more work time if you used less hardener. You used about double what you need. The key is to make a line from the center of your glob to the outside. That is all you need.

[@rottiesdad]

This is horrible advice. I did this and now I have syphilis again...
