I like the idea of adding the glue. I’m a fan of the snapped off match stick method personally but the toothpicks also make it a cheap and easy repair that anyone can do. Well done.

Thanks, where you getting match sticks these days, haha. I think they would work well since they are a soft wood.

Sorry if this is a stupid question - would this work on a hollow door?

[@efd]

Good question, it’s usually an issue on the jamb side

@@betances8 can I just put the toothpicks without glue or do I need glue?
