hello the skew and look at what happened here some may kind of bash through the door and this whole door plate just broke into I've are taken out the molding here because I was pretty much gone but I kind of want to keep this doorframe because I'll show you show you right up here coming up here you can see it's kind of one piece and if I were to take this off I would have to take this piece off and maybe even damage the corner piece here I'd even have to grab a whole new door a door frame itself but I want to see if I could repair this and I'll show you how I'm going to do it now you know I wouldn't actually try to attempt this if it was kind of an exterior kind of a heavy-duty door which you really needed the security but this is an interior door frame and actually it broke just strictly out of an accident nobody was trying to break in so hopefully I could get this kind of back to normal it broke from the top it just split here and it's actually still take holding on here I don't really want to break it off I could but I would rather just stay like that and so what I'm going to be doing is just to use initially just some good old-fashioned Elmer's wood glue and I'm going to apply with glue along the entire seam and then this security in place all right so I'm just going to try to apply a little bead Elmer's glue all the way down kind of get it on there and then I'm going to just use a q-tip even though there's some kind of fibrous it should work just fine for this application and just try to smoothly spread it throughout the all the surfaces you want good contact I don't know if you can see this but there's some fragments of wood still kind of clinging on dear life and I want to make sure I get behind these without breaking them off to get full contact you want this bond to be as strong as possible so with all the glue apply I'm just going to start clamping it now I have four clamps I'll do two on the bottom two on the top and I'll just start from the bottom where it's it's still connected to the wood so I'll just clamp it so straight okay so I'm going to let this sit for about 24 hours and I'm not going to really I'll scrape off the glue the excess glue later but so let it cure for about 24 hours and then we'll go ahead and take the clamps off okay so it's been about 24 hours and so it's time to remove the clamps so the glue job did a pretty good job it's pretty smooth there is some chips here that we're going to fill in with filler a little later on and then after we paint this the original the crack should almost be invisible but I do want to pay attention to this this door frame and the original door jamb plate so the original plate fit in here and was only secured with these small little screws the screws only went into the door frame itself so when there was pressure this way it pushed this way and essentially cracked the the door frame itself but but even though we glued this with some fairly strong wood glue it's still weaker than the original wood and so I don't want to rely exclusively on this glued door frame so what I'm going to do instead is I'm going to use deeper screws I got some inch-and-a-half screws here and I'm just going to go all the way through to this back wood so there is a little shim here that supports the door frame and it'll go through the shim to this back wood and so when this door door plate is here it's going to be secured by these deep screws supported by this back wood rather than just exclusively the door frame so we'll do that next then time to reinstall the door plate door frame plate and again these screws are going all the way to this backward okay so the repair is pretty much complete I just have to kind of paint up the door frame here fill in these little chips and then put the molding back on and then it should look like brand-new now again I wouldn't do this if it was an exterior door where security is a big issue but just for these interiors doors this should give this door some extra life so I hope this helps I'll see you next time bye-bye
