This Fixes the Hole Thing

Even those with plenty of experience in repairing holes in drywall can have problems with the hole created by the doorknob. No matter what you do, it seems the repaired area never holds up. One little ding by the knob, and the wall is damaged again.

The Hole in One drywall repair kit is geared toward solving this problem for good. A plastic disk is locked to the inside of the drywall with a construction adhesive. Once the disk dries, the wall has a reinforced backing and is ready to be covered with drywall compound, sanded and painted. The kit comes with a plug, disk and lock assembly. You need to supply a construction adhesive, drywall saw and compound. The kit sells for $5.95 (plus shipping and handling) at www.ezdrywallrepair.com.
