How to repair a damaged door jam (forced open)
Nothing fancy here at all but demonstrates how to make the repair using my fein to cut out timber and chisel to cut recess for keeper.
Old keeper and facing were put back on, personally I would liked to have replaced.
I you ever make any repairs to wood and need to use a filler I reccomend using metolux
Metolux - Products For the Trade Professional this is a 2 part filler that sets in approx 15-20 minutes depending on temp etc. It can be shaped and even staind to match existing timbers both colour and profile. You get the job done quicker instead of using DIY fillers which can take 24hours.
You will also notice the size of the peice of timber I cut out, it was much larger than what was actualy damaged. This is to ensure that the new peice is fixed solid to the existing timber. If you only cut out a small sections then this can be easily forced open . Its probs more important to take this into account if you are making a simliar type of repair to an external door.
