Door frames are the true entrances into homes and workspaces, as they house the actual doors and other entryway parts like jambs, hinges, and weather stripping. Because they house so many door parts, a lot of things can go wrong with a door frame, including cracking, rotting, burglary, and everyday wear-and-tear. Here are just some methods on how to fix a door frame after one or many forms of damage have occurred.
How to Fix a Door Frame Crack
When fixing a door frame with a large crack, pull the hardware out of the doorknob assembly to get to all parts of the frame that need attention. If the frame itself is repairable and doesn’t need to be replaced, you should be able to reach everything you need to get to without removing the door.
- After removing the doorknob, remove any wood fragments and splinters so the frame is completely clean and free of debris.
