Hi, my door was scratched up. Can you recommend the best way to improve it? Should I sand it down slightly, fill in the gaps with some sort of putty and then paint it black? Thank you
I'd probably smear some wood putty paste on it, sand it down, check to see if it s smooth enough or if it needs another coat of filler... then repaint that entire side of the door.
[color=#383a3b]Hello everyone, I am interested in replacing all of the hinges on the interior doors in my home. They are all old gold hinges that look beat up and in some cases, they have been painted over. I want to freshen up the look by replacing the hinges with new ones by using a satin nickel color to match the door knobs (all of which I replaced).[/color]
[color=#383a3b]Here's the new hinge...I have to verify this is the right size: [/color][url=https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-1-2-in-x-5-8-in-Radius-Satin-Nickel-Door-Hinge-Value-Pack-12-per-Pack-16909/202045487]Everbilt 3-1/2 in. x 5/8 in. Radius Satin Nickel Door Hinge Value Pack (12 per Pack) 16909[/url]
[color=#383a3b]I've never done this before and while it appears to me that this is just simple screw old hinge off, screw new hinge back on type of job, these type of home improvement projects are never as easy as it may appear to be. Is there anything I should be aware of before going ahead with this?[/color]
[color=#383a3b]I plan on buying the same exact hinge as the old one, so hopefully there's no issue in terms of having the new hinge fit into the imprint of the old one. I have attached pics of the old hinges.[/color]
[color=#383a3b]Thank you.[/color]

The bushings on an old security/storm door on my mother's house failed and the z-bar is damaged. I cannot find the manufacturer's information, but the glass is Chamberlain security class out of Arkansas. Hopefully someone will recognize the door and parts are still available. I do not want to have to replace it.
