Once steel door installation is complete, that doesn’t mean you don’t have a DIY project on your hands in the future. So what do you do if you find a small dent in your steel entry door? That’s where we come in. At 3rd Avenue Window Supply, we’re experts on more than window installation. Keep reading to find a solution for your dented steel door.
First, sand the dent and two to three inches of the surrounding area with 40-grit paper. Then, once you’re down to raw metal, clean it with denatured alcohol. Now mix up a two-part auto-body filler (like Bondo) and apply a thin layer using a plastic spreader.
Apply at least one more layer after it cures so that it is slightly higher than the surface of the door. In about 25 minutes that layer will have cured, at which point you can use 80-grit sandpaper to make the repair flush. Next, sand the patch and feather edges using a string of progressively finer grits (up to 220).
Wait 90 minutes to prime the area and then paint it. Word to the wise: wear a dust mask when completing this DIY project, as fine dust will be released when sanding this filler. Make sure to take other safety precautions into consideration as well.
