Hey. The door of our guest room underwent a lot of damage last year and it split. It wasn’t a huge split, so I was able to use wood filler and glue to fix the issue. However, deeper splits have a comprehensive method. So, I can share how to repair split wood door with you. The first thing you must do is analyze the extent of damage. I’ll describe the rest below.

Here is the process you can follow:

  1. First, take a good look at the split to determine the extent of damage. Minor splits can be repaired using wood filler and glue as I said above, but deeper ones require intensive repairs. 

  2. After assessing the damage, remove any hardware, such as locks, hinges, and doorknobs, from your door to reach the split.

  3. Clean the split area to remove any dust or debris. A clean surface ensures better adhesion of the wood glue and filler.

  4. If your door is cracked or there are missing wooden pieces, apply a generous amount of wood filler to the crack, ensuring it fills the gap.

  5. Start by using a putty knife to scoop the filler into the crack.

  6. First, use a small amount of filler, pressing it into the inside ridges of each crack.

  7. Add more filler until the material slightly goes past the door’s surface.

  8. Take the help of clamps to hold the split door together while the wood filler dries. Don’t over-tighten them as this could potentially cause the door to warp.

  9. Once the wood filler has fully dried, and the split is securely mended, sand the repaired region to make it smooth. 

  10. After sanding, apply paint or a wood finish to match the door’s finish. Consider repainting the entire door. Apply even coats to match the colour well and give extra protection.


This is all I have to share with you. I hope you find this useful.
