    Try Bondo Wood filler, same people make the Bondo for cars. It sets in 15 minutes or less so you have to work fast. It is sand-able and paintable. I had to order on line because I can't find a store that carries it.

    Are you wanting to fill the holes left by the hardware that was on the frame? Or what to replace the door frame with?

    Hi Jayne! I use wood putty to fill in small holes. If it is a door that I am repurposing for another use, I may use and old door knob plate. But, here is a link to an article I found that gives you step by step! Hope this helps:) https://rainonatinroof.com/2014/12/cover-old-hardware-holes/

    Wood filler is the best product for that. Put the filler in the holes and space, smooth off, let dry and then sand. Prime paint and put on finish coat.
