Pet-Scratched or Chewed Doors

Scratches and chewed edges from pets can affect paint, veneer, timber edges, seals and sometimes the door frame.

Pet damage to doors

Cosmetic versus structural

Light scratching may be refinished. Deep gouges through veneer, damaged mouldings or chewed lock-side edges can be much harder to blend cleanly.

Frames can be affected too

Check architraves, frame stops and seals as well as the leaf. Sometimes the door is repairable but the surrounding trim needs separate attention.

Replacement matching

If replacement is the better route, we can look at matching the existing style, size, finish and hardware where practical.
