Hundreds of doors at some of the surplus stores. Take good measurements and see if they have a assembly that will work for you. It might cost less to replace than repair.

Did the same thing to mine! I bought a plastic wall protector used on houses to prevent door knobs from going through walls! Matches the exterior pretty good. Looks factory! May be good to install one before it happens, just in case!

Did it twice! The toddler flung the door open and a nice hole was in the center of our door. If you have a friend that does body work they can fix it right up. Or Check with a dentwizard type place. We were lucky to have someone with the skills to fix it. We finally bought a door stopper so it won't open as wide. In the meantime a piece of duct tape makes a nice band-aid.

jjtx22.....did you just put that over your door? I was thinking of a door knob bumper in white to put over it. Filled the crack with some caulking but of course it just doesn't look nice. UGH.

Just fixed my door in the back I have a rear door that is a half size that flung open while traveling. I had a bike on the rear ladder. The door flew open and put 3 holes and three dents in the outer fibberglass skin. I taped the decals and bondoed the holes and dents. Then
I emailed the factory and they sent me the paint formula. I found a guy at church that has a paint store and he got me the paint for 60.00. Then
I primeed it The paint store guy then found me a guy to spray it ,and then he sprayed a clear coat on it. It now looks brand new, you cant tell it was evan done.

Well I cleaned the wound with some denatured alcohol first, then I covered the hole in the door with white duct tape then pressed the wall protector on the door. I don't even notice it anymore.
