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
We cut away loose and crushed drywall.
- 2
We set a mesh or drywall patch that spans the opening.
- 3
We apply joint compound in thin coats and sand each one smooth.
- 4
We match the wall texture.
- 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.
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.
