How to fill the holes and gouge in my door?

Hi, mates.Good morning!

The handle of my bedroom (image1) is out of work. I removed the old handle and now there are two holes in the door( image2)

Second problem ,the flush pull of new handle is 7mm length,but the old is 12mm, much bigger than new one. (Image3)The old handle also left a gouge in the door.( image 4)I need your guild to fill these holes and gouge before I install a new handle.The thickness of the door is 40mm. Thank you so much!

Thank you! My wish is installing a new handle. About the door itself ,the holes is near but not on the spot I will drill for handle.(image1) . But door frame is different It may be very very near the drill spot. And one surface is made by concrete.(imag2). How to fill it so that I can install a handle? Certainly bog is best because it can be drilled. I think detailed advises is very best. Also which handle is very important .

Re: how to fill the holes and gouge

As previously mentioned by @r23on, it's best to cut timber to fit the gap on the frame @vica. The timber can be shaped to suit the area and glued into position. Any gaps around it can be filled with a suitable timber filler or bog.

 

Are you able to source some timber to fit this gap? As a last resort, you could fill the area with Builders Bog, but timber would be more structurally sound.

Re: how to fill the holes and gouge

@MitchellMc I want to buy timber to fill it. How about N.8030736? It’s size is 120*35mm. About handle, I want Lockwood 55mm Privacy Leverset. Wish your advised. Thanks!

Re: how to fill the holes and gouge

That timber appears to be a close match and should be suitable @vica. You'll need to sand it down slightly to be flush with the rest of the timber.

 

The Lockwood 55mm Privacy Leverset would be a good selection. Did you need the ability to lock it from the outside or just from the inside?

@MitchellMc I can’t install handle. I want to fix door and its frame first, then ask someone to install it,
