[BlindHandyMan] Repairing a hollow core door
Aloha everyone, My laundry room door needs help. On one side, the thin skin looks like match sticks at the bottom. The other side of the door is cedar paneling to match the adjacent walls. The bad side looks like the thinnest plywood ever. Do you think I could just put another skin over the bad one or do we have to remove it. Any other ideas? TIA, Betsy Teamwork: Together we achieve the extraordinary.
Re: [BlindHandyMan] Repairing a hollow core door
Betsy, I assume that the side that is messed up is on the laundry room side. How far up the door is it messed up? If not too far There are some wood repair kits. These basically are a wood filler with things to stop wood rot due to moisture. If this is the case you could build up the damaged areas and sand and paint the door. If the damage is on the inside of the door putting another sheet over could cause it not to close properly because of the door stops built into the door jam. - Original Message - From: Betsy Whitney braill...@hawaii.rr.com To: blindhandyman-yahoogroups.com blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 8:03 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Repairing a hollow core door Aloha everyone, My laundry room door needs help.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Repairing a hollow core door
Lenny, You are correct that the damage is on the laundry-room side. This is because we used to have a propane water heater and before we bought the house and I was renting, the owner told me I had to leave the window in that room open 6 inches because of the water heater. Whether this was necessary or not, the window had been open for 29 years. This door opens into the laundry room so I don't think that the door stop issue is relevant. The molding that the door closes up to is on the livingroom side, yes, kind of weird. The damage seems to be at the bottom and goes up about six inches. It is about nine inches across. I didn't know about repair kits, so this might be the answer. Betsy At 03:48 AM 2/1/2010, you wrote: Betsy, I assume that the side that is messed up is on the laundry room side.

They make metalkick plates that you can buy and put down at the bottom. Just buy the right size for the width of your door. I've seen them in polished brass and stainless steel. They just attach with screws to the door.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Repairing a hollow core door
Might I chime in here and say in two houses I have had we had what was called a furnace room door which was a hollow core door but that door had factory cut slots for venting as behind the door which opened into a kitchen was the main heating system. a hot air furnace. . wait it had those slots top and bottom in the hoolow core section.. Perhaps in this case where excess heat is nt the problem that repair kit Lenny spoke of and using a light belt sander and then a nice paint job to blend it all together on the inside of the door ?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Repairing a hollow core door
Aloha Lee and all, I'm off to the store to get the kick plate. Thanks so much to all.

Perhaps in this case where excess heat is nt the problem that repair kit Lenny spoke of and using a light belt sander and then a nice paint job to blend it all together on the inside of the door ?

This is because we used to have a propane water heater and before we bought the house and I was renting, the owner told me I had to leave the window in that room open 6 inches because of the water heater. Whether this was necessary or not, the window had been open for 29 years. This door opens into the laundry room so I don't think that the door stop issue is relevant. The molding that the door closes up to is on the livingroom side, yes, kind of weird. The damage seems to be at the bottom and goes up about six inches. It is about nine inches across. I didn't know about repair kits, so this might be the answer. Betsy At 03:48 AM 2/1/2010, you wrote: Betsy, I assume that the side that is messed up is on the laundry room side. How far up the door is it messed up? If not too far There are some wood repair kits. These basically are a wood filler with things to stop wood rot due to moisture. If this is the case you could build up the damaged areas and sand and paint the door. If the damage is on the inside of the door putting another sheet over could cause it not to close properly because of the door stops built into the door jam. - Original Message - From: Betsy Whitney mailto:brailleit%40hawaii.rr.commailto:br ailleit%40hawaii.rr.combraill...@hawaii.rr.com To: blindhandyman-yahoogroups.com mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.commai lto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.comblindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 8:03 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Repairing a hollow core door Aloha everyone, My laundry room door needs help. On one side, the thin skin looks like match sticks at the bottom. The other side of the door is cedar paneling to match the adjacent walls. The bad side looks like the thinnest plywood ever. Do you think I could just put another skin over the bad one or do we have to remove it. Any other ideas? TIA, Betsy Teamwork: Together we achieve the extraordinary.
