An unlikely material can make any banged-up steel door look good as new.
Some models even have an embossed wood-grain pattern that can be stained.
Plus, steel doors typically cost less than wood or fiberglass doors. It's no wonder they're so popular. But steel doors aren't perfect. They dent fairly easily if struck by a hard object, such as a boot heel, rock thrown by the lawnmower or rising fastball. The good news is, with the proper patching compound you can permanently repair any dent, gouge or hole in less than two hours.
