I need help with a door.

5. You're on the right track

Depends on how heavy the door? Is it an exterior door that needs to be fixed on the fly?

There are epoxies that drill just like wood. There are slow dry, and quick dry epoxies. Some you mix from 2 tubes, some you cut off a piece that has an outer layer and a core, and knead it.

I occasionally use exterior TiteBond III glue mixed with wood chips to fill a hole, but epoxy and wood is probably better.

I think you need thin dowels, like 1/8" or so because they're good wood. Toothpicks today can be bamboo, which would not be my favorite wood for glue or epoxy because it's not very porous.

I think you have 2 choices. Epoxy and wood and let it dry, then redrill to accept screws, or pack with epoxy and wood and tighten all in one throw. But you would need to prop up the door to relieve the weight until the epoxy hardens.

If they make a quick dry epoxy that might be best. Mix, pack the hole with wood and epoxy and tighten soon after.
