    Step 1: Get some Wood Filler. I used Elmer's ProBond Wood Filler, and made sure that it could be painted or stained over. Cut off the tip of the applicator, and push some of the putty into the hole. Step 2: Using a putty knife, smooth it over, but not completely flush to the surface of the door.
