A month ago, in my apartment, I noticed small cracks developing between the wall and the door frame. Although it was not a major issue, it looked unattractive, and I was concerned it could worsen. So, I immediately hired a professional carpenter to fix it. I observed the steps he performed. I have shared the detailed steps on how to repair cracks between door frame and wall below.

How to Fix Cracks Between Door Frame and Wall?

  1. Assess the gap's dimensions and form. This will help you in selecting the right filling. 

  2. Use a dry brush to remove dust or loose particles. 

  3. Now, make the crack a little wider using a putty knife. 

  4. You can apply acrylic crack filler for minor cracks. For larger gaps, the painter informed that they use low-expanding foam.

  5. Smooth it over with a putty knife. 

  6. Check the drying time specified in the product's instructions and leave it. 

  7. Make the surface uniform and smooth with the wall, using medium-grit sandpaper first, followed by fine-grit. 

  8. If necessary, apply a layer of primer. 

  9. Apply paint to the filled space to match the wall and frame that are already there.

  10. Finally, let it dry for 24 hours.

This is what the professional carpenter I hired did. I suggest contacting an experienced carpenter if you have doubts at any stage or if the gap is exceptionally big or complicated.
