My front door is weathered in one spot. I had tried to sand and restain that spot :-( Would this be a good tool to replane the whole door?

This planer would do a good job planning the bottom EDGE of the door (say, if it is sticking), but I would not recommend it for planning the front surface of the door. I've used mine to plane about 1/4 in off the bottom of over 105 linear feet of baseboard and it worked great.

Plain 15 old doors they where paint it white take off paint and stain them Work good for me I did have to use a heat gun for the details in the door but overall the PC plane work great

No. You'd have witness marks all over it. Take the door to a woodworking business that has a large drum sander.

depends on the material your door is made of, quite a few doors are made of materials that do not take well to planning. If your door is solid wood oak,maple, walnut it will do the job "MAYBE". The drive gears in this thing are plastic, YES, I said plastic, if you try to go a little fast you wind up with a broken tool and a gouged door. Try to take a bigger bite out of the thing,. you wind up with a broken tool and a gouged door. If you wish to use an electric plane. I would recommend a different manufactor

This will replane the door. Good? That depends on skill. I,ve never been able to plane a large area perfectly smooth. It can get you to the point where a sander will provide a smooth surface. l

I don't see why not it just glues on around the openings all you just have to do is cut it to length. It really works well it's a very nice product it takes a little finesse to put on. Take your time doing it and plan a head I measured the width of the door material and taped off around the door opening about a half inch in.Then I applied the glue and smeared it around with my finger then I slowly removed the tape this gave me a nice clean edge so when I put the gasket on the glue didn't push out and look like a total mess. I am just a little anal about stuff like that it looks as though it were installed at the factory. P.S. don't push hard on the gasket when you apply it just make sure it is firm.

I used it on the door that goes to my basement with no issue. I didn't think it was made for exterior doors to begin with.

If magnets stick, this would, especially if lots of flat area. It comes rolled so you may have to use electric taoe or other such tape to hold it to the door until it loses its curl. Sounds like a great idea.

It will repair it but leaves a rough finish unless you can sand and polish.Colour match could be difficult.

It would be my best recommendation, not sure how well it will work on that hard of a surface. If you use this to finish and a stone chisel to make the rough opening than I think you should be in good shape

It's pretty well sealed. You'd have to sand it first for a good result. I thought about doing the same but never enough time :-)

I wouldn't use it for that. It can be used, but you are asking a small sander to do a big job. You would most likely wear out the back plate on the sander if not burn it out. Of course I do not know how big your deck is, or what condition it is in. Most people do not sand their wooden decks if they are worn. There are restorers you can buy to restore the deck. Or you you can get deck cleaners that with the use of a power washer can bring the wood back to a like new appearance, from that dull grey worn look. Once that is done you can apply sealers. But to use a palm orbital sander to sand down the entire deck, would be time consuming, and tough on the sander. I would not do it. I wouldn't use it for that.

If you mean the bottom half of your door is a solid piece of thin aluminum, I would think you could make it work providing you have the proper tools.

I've only used it on an inside door, but I think that if the door you wish to use it on is smooth enough on the surface, it should be possible. However, rain, wind and weather would wear on it, so I think it wouldn't last as long on an outside door. The most important thing, though, is to apply it to as smooth a surface as possible.

Used on a wood door,took the door off and let it sit 24 hrs flat before rehanging

Use a hammer and a big nail, or a pin punch and drift it out from the bottom. Using a hinge type door stop eventually damages the door, and the trim. Only use as a last resort. There are other options.

Yes. This would work well for that purpose assuming the front or back surface of the door is flush with the door trim.

Hey,I would not use this for a metal door. It's much more suited for wood and specifically moldings and wooden doors. I'd expect it to bend under the strength of a metal door,. For that I would choose one of those large rounded wrecking bars rather than a flat bar. I do like this bar a lot and would still recommend it for lighter residential use. Good luck!

Can't answer the part about sanding and painting--it should do a great job of PATCHING the crack though.

Don't worry Chet! My home has hollow doors also and believe it or not the UltraAnchor SPREADS the force around the entire door and exerts less stress then using a door anchor on only one area . Go for it! Well worth the investment if your into resistance bands

Sort of. I used it to cut out the slot for the door knob's latch plate, opposite of hinge. It wasnt very successful on the cardboard-like material that it was made of. No clean edges and difficult to control. I had to clean it up with a chisel. It may work better on a real wood door, but since you dont want to mess that up, you should just do it right.
