How would you repair this? Its looks worse than it is, and could be covered up again with what the previous owners used, doorknob reinforcer, but id like to repair before it gets worse. Since this side is completely broken, its causing some flex in the door here.
Ive thought about routering out the face of both sides, leaving a tenon on top and bottom of what used to be the original lock motise, and then making a new piece to slip in and glue it all up. but not sure how much strength that would actually be.
Any suggestions? Its going to be painted inside and out so im not worried about the grain difference.
