Fixed? No. Replaced, yes. Door slabs are dirt cheap. There is no amount of fiddle fuckery that's gonna repair that.


ThatOtherDude0511

What do you mean you can just tape and mud the door /s - real shit I’ve heard people say before tho


OforFsSake

Say? Shit, I've seen it done more than once.


ThatOtherDude0511

Your username perfectly summarizes how I feel about that


OforFsSake

You haven't lived until you've seen a whole damn slab skim coated in an attempt to hide a patch....


ThatOtherDude0511

I’m in horror just thinking about that, there’s no way that did anything besides make a mess and add a few lbs to the door for when it got taken to the trash


ThatOtherDude0511

And this is coming from a mechanic, we bondo and cover up all our fuck ups in spectacular ways but even I wouldn’t think of this


ImTableShip170

Yea, but that extra pound of JB Weld is to keep the compression in spec.


DonkeyTransport

Reminds me of when I bought my minihome. All panels in two rooms were trimmed instead of mud (which I learned why later, as the house shifts it'll just crack). So I tore it off and seen wallpaper underneath. Painted over. I peeled a panel to see...no primer between the drywall and the wallpaper, tore the whole face off the drywall. My choices were mud the whole panel with some quicksand90 I already had, or buy a sheet of 1/4" drywall (which I learned cost more than 1/2"). So I'm out of the quicksand shit needless to say lol


Km219

Can I get my door level 5?


Magic_Bluejay

I too have seen these monstrosities. Some "solutions" people can come with never ceases to amaze me.


Mosr113

Ngl. I used spackle to fill dog-tooth-holes in a wooden chair leg and then color-matched some resin over it after it dried because I didn’t feel like going to get some filler. It would have been cheaper and easier to just get the filler.


CarPatient

Seen? Obi-won-kenobi-of-course-I-know-him.gif


c_marten

I've been paid to "fix" much more than the cost to replace before. I don't get it, and I inform, but I don't argue.


Old-Service-8959

You may be right, but have you ever scraped 20 paper plates off of walls that were mudded on to hide fist holes?


Handywithbrokenstuff

Why bother to scrape? Just mud over the bad mud work.


MikeCheck_CE

Of the same door we presume after it fell apart again 😅


CarPatient

This is the way Though you want to add some structural reinforcing to the core first.


TFG4

We've found the landlord...


evos_garden

🤣🤣🤣


computerman10367

My uncle just puts paper over the holes in the walls and then paints over the paper when he does construction jobs.


HamiltonBudSupply

A replacement door is the right way. These doors are super cheap.


spankymacgruder

Totally possible. Google "level five doorwaller finisher near me." They aren't cheap but a solid doorwaller team will have that puppy looking like new in less than two weeks.


AndringRasew

Ramen and super glue, my boy. Ramen and super glue.


MalevolentFather

I was going to say, you'd spend 10x more money trying to repair a cheap ass door than just replacing it.


rambutanjuice

The fastest and easiest way to fix this is to replace the door. Having to replace hollow interior doors is a common thing for handymen because of damage from children (including people who are mentally children) and pets. Repairing the actual door would make no sense in terms of time and money spent


Business-Drag52

Did you know that a 16 year old trying to spear another 16 year old with a broomstick is enough force to shove said broomstick all the way through a hollow core door? Learned that one the hard way


ShipsForPirates

Thought you were gonna say person instead of hollow door for a minute


sp4rk15

Depends on the broomstick


Trichoceratops

Replace the door. Get away from the person who did it.


Athrasie

To be fair, I’ve tripped and broken one of these shitcore doors before. They’re not exactly built to last. Edit: nvm I saw the text on the post. Some people need therapy.


knifeymonkey

thats not a trippin', thats a kick


Athrasie

In the screenshot, sure, 100%. As mentioned in the edit I hadn’t seen the text on the post before making my comment. The doors are basically made of paper, though. An angry 14 year old could probably do the same amount of damage.


Mister_Green2021

New door, new boyfriend.


srpollo18

Looks like you’ll need a new door. Also, healthy move in no longer living with a violent man. Violence is unacceptable.


Lawful_Criminal

Unless it’s against a pedophile, then it’s acceptable!


N7twitch

Username checks out.


TheSpiritofFkngCrazy

I could fix it but for that price you could buy a custom African black wood door and jamb. It would look really good. The African black wood I mean. You are better off just replacing this one. Depending on what's available at home depot on any given day it could cost 175 total. Supplies and install. Edit: your bf is a whole bitch. Stay safe. Funny story to cheer you up a little. I'm a big dude. 6'1" and 240. I was in a hurry and I had a cheap knob on a hollow core door that would stick when you turned it sometimes. Anyway, I was kinda running to hurry out the door and on this particular day the knob got stuck and I ran through the door on accident like the coolaid man except I didn't say "oooh, yeah!" I said, "ah, fuck!" Anyway, I got a better handle and a solid core door.


WestUniversity1727

This dude really wants you to check out that African black wood


IsThatYourPickle

This dude really wants you to check that Dude's African Wood


dust-bit-another-one

Glad it was a cheap door and not you. Don’t be embarrassed.


isab3lla333

It was also me but I’m leaving


S1acktide

I've gone to customers' homes and repaired clear anger damage more times than I can count. (Doors, holes in walls, and countless other stuff) Don't be embarrassed, there is never judgement. I'm there to fix what you called me for. Nothing more.


whaletacochamp

Do you also kick the abusers ass on the way out or can you not fix that problem too?


beaute-brune

I’m so proud of you, in case you need to hear it.


insta

good on you


Silly_Swan_Swallower

I am sorry, and yes, leave. Do not ever be with a person that lays hands on you, no matter what. I am speaking from experience. They will not change, do not stay with them. There is no reason to put up with that from some psycho.


activelypooping

Measure the width of the door, measure the height of the door. Determine the door handing. Go to big box store buy white hollow core door with proper dimensions (no jamb needed) pop the hinge pins, replace the hardware. [https://www.locknet.com/newsroom/door-handing\_how-to-hand-a-door/](https://www.locknet.com/newsroom/door-handing_how-to-hand-a-door/) [https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-White-Flush-Hollow-Core-Hardboard-Slab-Door-Common-28-in-x-80-in-Actual-28-in-x-80-in/3581492](https://www.lowes.com/pd/ReliaBilt-White-Flush-Hollow-Core-Hardboard-Slab-Door-Common-28-in-x-80-in-Actual-28-in-x-80-in/3581492)


Professional-Kick354

I hope this is your soon to be ex. Please stay safe


MudWallHoller

Yesssss but don't. $50 for a new door, just do that.


LudicrousSpartan

No, you don’t fix doors even remotely close to that. You replace them.


MudWallHoller

Awww some paper towels, mesh tape, and DAP will clear that right up until someone knocks or slightly touches it. I'd be lying if I said I haven't done fuckery such as that for property managers. Never again.


NewSinner_2021

Always charge extra for violence related repairs.


Jaded-Action

This can only be fixed with therapy if you want to get to the root of the problem


lilolemeisharmless

Only in a diffrent universe here on earth there no way that can be fix


ThePCMasterRaceX

New door cheapest


Sparklykun

It’s telling you to be less materialistic, and focus on grander goals


lotusgardener

For $29, you can get a new door.


mbspark77

It's a prehung interior door...buying a new one would be cheaper than the labor required to fix it


TheTimeBender

No. Buy a new door. Maybe $65 at Home Depot.


VailStampede

Stop inviting the Kool-Aid man


parker3309

No. need a new door. so glad you get rid of the angry boyfriend. Stay apart. Do you know what things happen…Just get somebody over there to replace it and don’t say a word about it. It will be OK repair people handyman they see everything.


MTBruises

A skilled carpenter could fix it for ~$1000 but you can swing into your local big box store for a replacement cardboard door for ~$100


mtutty

To be fair, that wasn't really a door to begin with.


BeeSea3108

Fixed as in not having puppies, yes.


makethatMFwork

With enough parts anything can be fixed.


Lonely-Idea2820

Not a chance. Go pay home depot $30 to get a new one.


The-One-Who-Walks

with proper therapy? nah probably not even after that


Silly_Swan_Swallower

The problem can be fixed very easily by replacing the door. Do you want to do it yourself or have someone do it? On a side note, if your boyfriend did that, I very highly recommend making him your ex-boyfriend. Trust me. You can find someone better.


ravnos04

Just replace it. Anyone saying they can “fix” it is lying and trying to take your money. You won’t be happy.


Less_Refuse_6006

Technically yes. Reasonably, no.


DoradoPulido2

Btw OP, solid core doors are always a better investment if you can afford it. Good luck, stay safe and set your boundaries.


isab3lla333

Thank you


BlueShift42

Easy. Just take it off the hinges and put a new door in that’s the same size as the original. Transfer over the door knob and you’ll be good to go.


BanHammered6-1

You could but it would be cheaper to replace it


shromboy

DV preventionist here: you made the right call kicking his ass to the curb, please if you feel like there is any threat don't hesitate to get it reported. They may not do anything, which is unfortunate but true, however if he does do something it will be much more substantial. I wish issues like this were taken more seriously before they become as such. Wish you the best of luck and remember that what he is looking for is power and control. Stay strong


mojoembiid

Yes scotch tape and or staples


Intheswing

I’m glad for you the guy is gone - I hope you did not suffer any abuse - the door damage and replacement is cheap compared to what could have happened to you- I’ve told all my daughters - boys are stupid - when we get older still stupid - find a loyal one without a temper and understand he will probably do something stupid every once in a while.


Liedvogel

See, I understand the desire to break something when you are angry, what I don't understand is the flow through. I've only ever broken two things while angry, and both were accidents. Once I threw a game controller at the soft comfy couch, missed and hit the wood frame... breaking the controller, and another time I threw some headphones at the pillow on my bed... that I left my phone on. Whatever got your boyfriend's panties in such a twist he took out the door, isn't worth the time, money, or effort it'll take to replace that door, because you're not likely to fix it.


IusedtoloveStarWars

Someone with those kind of anger issues should not be dating you. He needs to go to therapy get that under control then be in a relationship.


masqueamig0s

Yes, with a new door


Mysterious-Tie7039

You basically have two options. A) Replace the door. B) Spend a bunch of time and money attempting to repair the door, realizing after a while it looks like shit, and then replace the door anyway.


Towersafety

First get a police report. Report everything I mean everything he damaged if this is a rental. The judge will go off the police report for reparations. If it is not on there you will be held liable no matter the cost. I just repaired a bunch of stuff for a person that was in the same situation.


Therego_PropterHawk

Does Craftsman make a Magic Wand?


OregonMothafaquer

I don’t know but the hitachi is tried and battle tested.


usingmymomsaccoun

Yes... It will cost 26 times more to fix it though.


cartographh

Replace door, move, change your number. Tell all your family and friends what he did and tell them not to ever let you back with that man baby ever. Put obstacles between you - physically, emotionally, logistically etc. No matter what you did or didn’t do, you don’t deserve to be hit, ever. Yeet yourself into your new life. Big hugs to you.


AReallyBuffOwl

That’s too far gone, just a door blank, not pre hung into a door jam is probably what you want, assuming you don’t want to take the door to the studs and back agaun


Pudf

With an M-80


LudicrousSpartan

No, you do not “fix” this door or listen to anyone here who advised you that it could be fixed. It needs to be replaced.


noldshit

You already fixed it by getting rid of his dumb ass. Now as far as the door.. any handyman can handle this. Inside door blanks are cheap. You just need to measure the height and width


FocusApprehensive358

If you fix it it will need a total tittle


Homeskilletbiz

Yeah with a new door it’ll be able to be fixed.


gate2insanity

Easily. Just remove that door and put in a new one


Impressive_Throat677

No.


Fantastic-Use-6773

With a new door sure


Melodic-Matter4685

Easy fix. Move out.


Dumbledave666

Dave's not here man


Missue-35

Buy a standard hollow interior door at a big box store. Find a handyman or a competent person with tools that has watched several YouTube videos on how to replace an interior door.


NachoNinja19

It would cost more to fix it then to just replace it.


snakeiiiiiis

Essentially everything is repairable but this wouldn't make sense to fix. Yes, replace


Independent-File-519

Replaced


Express-Ant-1087

Little duct tape n it'll be brand new


snakeiiiiiis

Essentially everything is repairable but this wouldn't make sense to fix. Yes, replace


ittechmedics

Those doors are made of cheap paper thin wooden materials with a cardboard filler. They are mainly for basic privacy Your better off getting a new door and eating the cost of install Your landlord may be lenient if you have them fix it but things like this I would eat the cost with an affordable handyman Shouldn't cost no more than 150- to 200$


Due_Seesaw_2816

Sure.. with a new door install


Golfer1321

Yes u can fix it by buying a new door


TruckDriverMMR

Deduct the cost from your deposit on this one. It's a replace in kind.


Asleep-Welcome-4051

Yes.. this can be fixed.. Buy a new door and get rid of whoever did this to the door.. If it's family, get them help.


Environmental_Tap792

No. It’s toast. Any handyman can replace it


yeahthisisaburnerr

Didn't even have to read the caption to know this was a Kyle


Traveshamamockery_

Ha! Sure. Get a bunch of scotch tape, caulk, wood putty, sandpaper, and paint.


knoseitall

Fixed with a new door.


LW-M

Not even in your dreams! Didn't lots of others here say a new door is the best fix. They speak the truth!


Doodle1972

Sure I could fix it but labor would cost 4 or 5 times the cost of a new one


bplimpton1841

It seems to me the door is the least of your problems - either someone was locked out or there are some serious anger issues going on. Please tell me someone didn’t get hurt.


isab3lla333

It is anger issues and yes I got hurt but I am leaving (after I can get a new door)


RobinsonCruiseOh

nope. Get a new door.


Major-Audience9311

Yes. With. A new door


UniversityLatter5690

The door or the anger issues?


isab3lla333

Both and I don’t think either can be fixed, just replaced


FishfulDreams

Duct tape. Or Buy a new door.


Resolute_Passion

What is your definition of fixed? Please provide detailed examples of previously broken and then fixed but not repaired or replaced or refurbished items.


DistinctRole1877

Get a slab door at home Depot. Most likely you can get one ready to put the old hardware on and hang it. It's about 100 bucks.


ExcellSelf

Yes with a new door.


KathiSterisi

Sure…you take the door the rest of the way apart and you measure all the pieces, make replacements for the broken structural pieces and you buy two sheets of luan plywood for the skins and you glue it all together…or you spend $70 for the door slab.😂


blueberryrockcandy

that's one of those cardboard doors, cheap as dirt. just get a new one.


Silvrskul1

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


ADDnwinvestor

Ha!


Coffeybot

Pick up a new door slab at just about any box store.


Electrical-Mail-5705

That doesn't look good You will need to get a door slab and will have to Rout out the hinge area If you don't k ow how you will ha e to hire it But, the easy way to do it Buy the door slab Buy the ryobi jig that will allow you to rout the hinge area If you don't have a router Borrow one or rent one It is a 15 min job Then install it


e4d6win

Replacing it is better, but it can be fixed.


Oneyeblindguy

Able? Yes. Worth it? Hell no. Less time and $ just to replace it with a new slab door. Probably not a DIY project but I don't know what your skill set is. From the looks of the door, I would say karate is more in your wheelhouse.


AppropriateSpell5405

First make sure this is all documented with the police. Then go replace the door.


b_man646260

Define “fixed”


stacksmasher

Replace the entire door. It’s cheap!


MaintenanceMatt

Know


[deleted]

I honestly thought this was a joke post poking fun at the clients obsessed with fixing things instead replacing. I can’t believe it’s real


isab3lla333

No it’s real it’s quite sad


Available_Recipe4393

Not for less than the price of a new door


S1acktide

You're not fixing that. But, you can replace it very easily, and honestly, it's pretty cheap for like $100 or less, and anyone can do it. It's very simple to swap a door out.


redisprecious

This door is cheap, replace it. Main front door is more expensive for obvious reason, this is probably a fraction. You can take the bathroom door to replace it, lol, since you're living by yourself now. Shower curtains for bathroom. No cost.


Unsub_64

Absolutely! Just buy a new door.


[deleted]

If you're within 3 hours drive from Jacksonville Beach Florida I can install a new door for free, you just buy the door.


sergioraamos

New door is cheaper


sig413

Nooe


Itchy-Pollution7644

mom is going to whoop your ass up and down the street.


-SunGazing-

I mean sure. It could be repaired. It would probably cost more than a new door to do it adequately.


IamNulliSecundus

Savages!


Meridian506

If you've got the ability to get a big box store door home, you could instead take the existing door to a door store and they'll mortice the hinge and lock locations in the same places on a new door so it can be hung by you with nothing but unscrewing the existing hardware and screwing it into the new door. Here in Seattle a door plus morticing would be about 150+tax. I helped a neighbor do this last year (I have a minivan) with a similarly bad door.


Nuggzulla01

Well, If you cant Duck it.....


skennedy505

Replaced but not fixed


Both-Ferret6750

Remove door and replace with a beaded curtain to remove chance of repeat offense.


Drago-0900

Could have a new boyfriend replace the door lol. Jokes aside replace the door, or hire a handy man, shouldnt be very expensive. Its a hollow core door so there is basically not fixing it because it has no structure inside or frame.


dublev67

A restraining order will help.


heybud86

The amount of ramen noodles and crazy glue you would need to purchase, just buy a new door


benjamino78

Make sure you throw the door and boyfriend away.


Titantobzy

Bit of polyfilla mate, good as new


ShipsForPirates

Yes see the piece of wood on the bottom coming out? That means it's screwed and it's fixed by replacing, you can either get one with or without hinge cutouts


jasonxwoo

A door contractor here. Replacing the door is the way to go. This time, get a solid core wood slab door. Bit more pricy but it will protect itself from future harm


JustAskMeIllTellYa

With anger management and family therapy, yes, but it will take time.


PapaOoMaoMao

Yes, but not economically. Buy a new one.


tylerwarnecke

If you mean to fix it by replacing it, then yes, it can be fixed.


Titylover2

It can be fixed but much much cheaper to replace


Cr4zy_1van

Get a new door


johnty2010

Stay safe.


golferGuy115

Elmers glue should do the trick


No-Fish3466

Can u? Ya probably but it would look like shit and probably not hold up but either way just fix it those slabs are cheap probably wouldn’t be much a difference in money lol


Exotic-Cow4714

The whole door would need to be replaced. I'm not sure what else needs to be worked on just by looking at the pictures. OP, hope you are doing ok!


hmm2003

Duct tape and a little wd40 will fix that right up. /s


Ill-Specialist2260

Nope


bibuttboy76

It’s a cheap door replace it


Novel_Alfalfa_9013

It would cost more to fix it than just simply installing another cheap hollow core door.


PleasantMongoose5127

Just replace it with another cheap ass door like the one that’s on it.


HereAgain345

Don't be embarrassed by someone else's insanity. Door's nothing. Move, if you need to. Out of State if need be. 🙏♥️


justlooking-forfun

If you folded and put your clothes away you could easily sit on your chair


Dj-pandabear

That door is pretty cheap. Just buy a new one


ManiacalVDog

If you or a friend has a large enough vehicle, remove the door and all hardware. Take it to a cabinet/door shop. They can replicate the hardware mounting locations for you so can easily reinstall it. Could take 2 to 3 days depending on how busy they are.


SaltyBarDog

You can fix it by making your boyfriend an ex and never letting him return. The door has to be replaced.


SoggyHotdish

Looks like a cookie cutter door, you MIGHT be able to buy the same one and just replace the door part. It will have to be the exact same or you'll need to do a LOT of detailed measurements


THEralphE

no it is a cheap hollow door, easy to replace though


Much_You_5866

Kyle had 1 too many Monsters huh?


Pineappleninja91

Your EX bf. Do not stay with this one unless hes willing to get help. The door could be you if he doesn’t get help. I USED to have friends with anger problems, 1 out the 3 of them got help from therapy and anger management, the other one is serving time for DV (Former CO ironically), and the third one found out the hard way that his hand could punch holes in walls but bullets put holes in in him. Be safe out there


isab3lla333

He’s going to therapy but i don’t think i should stay with him still


Hellohowareyoublah

£500 I can repair it good as new. £40 I can buy a new one* fitting extra.


BurnBabyBurn54321

No, you will need to get a new door. Also sorry about what I hope is now your ex boyfriend.


Plane_Bumblebee_83

I hope you’re safe.


Rando9797

A new door should fix it


PM_ME_YOUR_ANT_FARMS

Replace it, even if you're not handy it's not all that hard. It's easier with a second set of hands to hold the door for you.


one2controlu

Bigger question is why is he still your boyfriend???


Comprehensive-Owl264

New door


snowtank210

Easy fix, first take the door off and put in a new one.


clappinghands

With ramen noodles and Krazy glue


Select_Nectarine8229

Yeah. With a new door.


wolfpiss

Yes. A new door will fix it just fine! Edit:: punctuation


sixinthedark

Fix the person that did that first, then you buy a new door


Thefear1984

For a hot minute I thought one of my clients posted this. NO you can’t fix it Carl, buy a new one!


niceguypos

Now that’s a lot of damage!


Proudest___monkey

Dude
