Ok, I've got your standard glass door in front of the entry door to my house. The wind blew the glass door open and beyond where it could go and in turn ripped the door puller out of the frame on the door. In doing so it pretty much destroyed the place where it was anchored to. Is there a way of fixing this with out a whole new door frame? I think that its just a piece of 2x7 running up and down the side, but I'm not sure. I was thinking of option a) Forcing the cracked wood back and using wood putty to fill in the gaps, but this creates a problem of hooking the door closer back. Or option B) a new board, but I'm not sure if its just that simple. Any ideas and all ideas are appreciated and thanks for the time.
