I'm permanently removing a door. How do I fill the recesses that the hinges fitted into? They are about 1/8" deep by 3.25 x 1.25". They will be painted. Can't just smear it with wood filler, because I'm also trying to get a sharp corner at the 1/4" reveal at the casing.
On the other side of the door, I have to fill in the deep holes required by the deadbolt and doorknob latches. Can't use a dowel for the deadbolt latch because it's like a big circle with flat sides. On second thought, maybe I should use a large 1.5" dowel and sand the sides to the 1" width of the hole. Then just glue or nail in in place and use wood filler to make everything flush before sanding and painting.
Thanks,
Ray
