Over time my front door has suffered from bashing from the wifes bicycle and an hairy family argument with her brother who kicked lumps out of the door *gulp* family huh gotta love em lol.



Question is its a wooden the backside of its in good condition, the fron and lock side needs replacing. Can the front and side of a door be replaced or is a a total replament needed ?



Bit late to call the local carpenter, thought the diy bods might know. :)


Depends on what the "door" is...

- Core with plywood nailed each side - replace plywood

- Engineered wood, dowel & glued - hard to get apart

Is this just dinges & scrapes?

- In which case sand down, filler, repaint.

Beware "hardwood doors" - some are a veneer on core, and that veneer can be quite thin before you get aggressive with a sander.

Send him/it/**it a bill for a replacement door.
