        "text": "Repairing a door frame after a break-in requires checking both the finish jamb and the structural studs behind it. If the wood is only split along the strike plate, a carpenter can remove the damaged section, splice in new solid lumber, install an extended heavy-duty strike plate, and anchor it with 3-inch screws directly into the wall stud.
