Repairing A Door Knob Hole in Wall

You see a lot of these holes in the wall where a doorknob has gone through the sheet rock or wallboard. You can use a laundry detergent bottle cap for this as fix. Find the size cap that slides into the round knob hole. Apply a small bead of silicone seal or gorilla glue to the back of the flare-out on the cap. Insert and let dry. Presto! Now the doorknob will fit into the wall.

You can also dress this up by cutting out the hole size (2 1/2 inches) in a small piece of paneling. Arrange how you want it to look, and glue it behind the cap-flare before inserting in the wall.

A Hinge Pin Doorstop will help to prevent this type of damage to your wall. It is an adjustable doorstop to protect the wall from the opening door. It goes on the hinge pin of the door.
