Worn Door Handle Area Repaired On Commercial Door

Around the lever on this commercial timber door, years of hands and keys had worn the finish back to bare patches. The satin steel handle and rose were sound, but the wood grained surface beneath and beside them was scuffed, abraded and rubbed pale. A focused worn door handle area repair restored the finish without touching the rest of the leaf.

Wear concentrated in one spot like this is simply the price of a well used door, the same few inches gripped, pushed and brushed past thousands of times. Left alone the bare patch spreads outward and starts to look tired across the whole leaf. Working in situ, our technician filled the abraded areas, then recoloured and grained around the handle so the repair flows into the original timber tone. The handle and ironmongery stayed in place throughout, keeping the door in daily service.

Touching up worn timber sounds simple, yet feathering colour into a sound finish without leaving a darker ring around the handle is exactly where home attempts let themselves down. With over thirty years of refinishing experience, Magicman blends this kind of localised wear as routine professional work. The after image shows an even, continuous grain with no sign of the worn patch.
