Door Problem

[imported_Stevie]

So this isn't a garage door question, but it's a regular bedroom door question. Anyways, my daughter's crazy ex-boyfriend busted through her door one day during a knock down-drag out fight between the two. There is a huge hole in the wood where the latch goes. We tried a temporary fix with super glue and mollies, but it only held for a week or so.

Am I gonna have to just replace that wood right there? I'm not sure what to do.

Replacing the wood sounds like the only option. And then get a restraining order, him thrown in jail, and a gun or two.

It sounds like you would have to replace that wood paneling right there. Just strip it out carefully and put in a new pieces, with a new hole and latch.

And yeah, get a restraining order on his ***. Glad you mentioned he was an EX boyfriend. Yikes.
