Hollow Core Doors- Repairable?
Tenants just moved out and were very hard on the hollow core interior doors. None have obvious holes in them, but they are all "wobbly". My partner says the doors are shot. Does anyone know of any repair for this problem. Thanks in advance for your help! :-?
They are 20 bucks at Home Depot. Get a new door.
Good advice: get new doors.
When the bond between the paper core is broken and the doors become "wobbly", there is no repair that can be done less expensively than the cost of buying and rehanging a new door.
Hey,
I am not sure what "wobbly" means and the first think that came to mind was the hinge screws were loose. You can put golfball tees in them and then put the screws back in.
If it is the doors themselves, go buy new ones.
Thanks for the info. I hoped not ot buy new doors, but I guess I will be visiting Home Depot this week. :-(
I'm all for replacing if it's cheaper & easier BUT make sure the old doors are standard size & cutouts. I found that some of my doors were non-standard and it would be a huge headache to just drop in a new slab - lot's of trimming & cutting. (I'm somewhat of a handyman but not a pro.)
For a few dollars more you can get a primed six panel door that will look nicer!
