How the repair works
Measure from a photo
A picture with something for scale lets us choose between a California patch and a backed patch before arriving.
Cut back to solid board
The crushed ring around the hole is cut into a clean square so the patch has firm edges.
Patch and bed
The new piece goes in on its paper flange or on screwed-in backing strips, and the seams are bedded in compound.
Texture and finish
After sanding, the wall's orange peel or knockdown is rebuilt over the patch, then primed and touch-up painted.

Doorknob Hole Repair questions
How big a doorknob hole can you fix?
Any size. Small, clean holes take a California patch. Larger or ragged holes get wood backing behind the opening and a screwed-in patch.
Is a self-adhesive mesh patch good enough?
For a very small dent it can be. Over a true handle hole it tends to flex and crack, because the crushed edges around it are still weak and there is nothing solid behind it.
Will the patched spot be weaker than the rest of the wall?
A proper patch is about as strong as the original board, but no drywall survives repeated hits from a handle. A door stop is what keeps the repair intact.
Which door stop works best?
A baseboard spring or solid stop suits most doors. A hinge-pin stop avoids drilling, and an adhesive wall bumper suits doors that swing into a corner.
