Few DIY questions

Heya - I am struggling to figure out how to fix up few things in my new home. I think I lack the vocabulary to express my question when googling cause I couldn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated! I removed door between my kitchen and living room and after unscrewing hinges and the uhh lock hole (what's that called?) , I'm left with like ugly ass holes in the door frame. Any advise on filling/hiding them? I thought about using some kinda filler material then painting over them but I'm not sure what to Google for specifically in this case. Would the same thing like for filling wall cracks work? I also considered removing the door frame but thought it matches the rims on the floor so atm would rather keep it. I also wanted to remove the metal thingy that is meant to stop the door smashing against the wall when opened, not sure how to go about it neither what it's called... Would I need to detach the rim for that? I cannot unscrew the metal part that's in the rim I don't think. submitted by /u/Mediocre-Charge861 [link] [comments]
