How do you repair a hole in a stained wood door?

• <div><p>Most pros use wood putty to fill in holes in a stained wood door since attempting to match new stain to old stain—even using stainable wood filler—is difficult. Start by buying a wood putty similar in color to your stained wood door and blend different colors of putty if needed. For larger holes, it might be a better idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-thin-hollow-core-interior-doors-be-refinished-if-so-how-it-done.htm">replace the hollow core door</a>, as hiding the hole will prove to be a challenge. You could also fix the hole with spray foam and spackle and then paint your entire door for a fresh appearance.</p></div>

Can I convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door?

• <div><p>You can convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door, but it’s more of a pain. Pre-hung doors are already set in the frame with the hinges and everything aligned, so once you cut the slab in half, you’ll likely need to adjust the hinge placement and maybe even mess with the frame itself. It’s doable, but expect some trial and error because it’s not a straight-swap situation.</p></div>

Will changing the hinges stop sagging on a screen door?

• <div><p>If your hinges are rusted, a lack of support may be why your screen door is sagging. A misaligned latch and striker may cause a slight sag. For an easy way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-improve-screen-door-security.htm">make the screen door more secure</a>, purchase replacement hinges if you see noticeable rust or deterioration. To replace hinges, unscrew each leaf on your existing hinges, swap in your new hinges, and tightly screw the new hinges into place.</p></div>

Q: Can I convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door?

• <div><p>You can convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door, but it&rsquo;s more of a pain. Pre-hung doors are already set in the frame with the hinges and everything aligned, so once you cut the slab in half, you&rsquo;ll likely need to adjust the hinge placement and maybe even mess with the frame itself. It&rsquo;s doable, but expect some trial and error because it&rsquo;s not a straight-swap situation.</p></div>

Q: What causes a door jamb to rot?

• <div><p>Exposure to moisture leads to door jamb rot. Water softens the wood, leaving it susceptible to damage from even slight bumps. Over time, the excess moisture allows mold, mildew, and fungus to grow. These organisms feed on the wood, leaving behind a soft, splintering door jamb. The breakdown will continue if the wood isn&rsquo;t repaired or replaced. Outdoor wood jambs are the most prone to rotting, but bathrooms and doorways in a humid climate can sustain this damage.</p></div>
