How to fix a dent in an aluminium, powder coated white folding sliding door?

We have just installed some white aluminium, powder coated folding sliding doors. Just one day after installation, my partner folded them back whilst leaving the key in the lock. The key has dented and scratched the aluminium surface. Does anyone know the best way of rectifying the dent and scratch? The area of damage is about the size of a 5 pence piece, however, because the rest of the surface is so pristine, it looks very bad. Many thanks.How to fix a dent in an aluminium, powder coated white folding sliding door?
if you can find some spray paint the same color take a piece of cardboard and make a small irregular shaped hole in it. cover any glass or other parts you don't want sprayed then lightly spray it with several light coats. works on appliances also. you can fill in the dent with auto body fillerHow to fix a dent in an aluminium, powder coated white folding sliding door?
I'm sorry I am a little ignorant but I do not know what a 5 pence piece looks like nor do I know what type of sliding door(closet, garage, tool shed, etc.) you are talking about. However, I may try fixing the dent by using a ';C'; clamp. These clamps come in many sizes and all you need is to place a clamp on the dent and tighten until the dent is straighten out. Sometimes if the dent is larger than you place a piece of metal on both sides of clamp and tighten until straighten. If you cannot get a clamp on the door, remove door and lay on ground with wooden block on the bottom of dent and hammer on top of dent utilizing wood. Do not hammer directly on door, hammer on wood. Sand area and spray paint utilizing metal paint. Good Luck!
In construction , when metal doors %26amp; frames get dented


Bondo (auto body putty) is used .


It adheres well %26amp; the dent can be filled %26amp; sanded flush w/ the surrounding area.


Can't hurt to try spot painting , but it is difficult to match the


powder coat finish.


If you get a good color match ,might try an auto polishing compound to blend in the patch as best you can.


Another option might be to put a guard or rub rail across the doors if there is danger of a repeat.
