What Causes a Doorknob Hole

A doorknob hole forms when a door swings open hard and the handle hits the wall. Drywall is soft, so the handle crushes it.

  • Doors that open fully without a stop
  • Missing or bent door stops
  • Hinge-side gaps that let the door swing wide
  • Wind through an open window or patio door pushing the door
  • Kids and pets pushing doors open

How We Patch a Doorknob Hole

  1. 1

    We cut away loose and crushed drywall.

  2. 2

    We set a mesh or drywall patch that spans the opening.

  3. 3

    We apply joint compound in thin coats and sand each one smooth.

  4. 4

    We match the wall texture.

  5. 5

    We prime and paint the repair so it blends in.

Stop It From Happening Again

We install a door stop at the spot where the handle meets the wall. A baseboard stop, a hinge-pin stop or a floor stop works, depending on the swing of the door. A small stop costs far less than a second patch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have a question? Call and we will answer it.

Can you fix a hole that goes all the way through?

Yes. We back the opening with a patch, fill it in layers and finish it flush with the wall.

Will the patch show?

We texture and paint the repair to match. A fresh coat on the patched wall hides the edges.

Do you install the door stop in the same visit?

Yes. We patch, finish and fit the stop in one trip.
