Hi friends,

I'm in need of your help.
Last day, I got a call from my son on how to fix a broken door frame. He said that his younger child ran into the door hard to break the door frame. When I went to his house and checked it, I found that the doors are not damaged. It's just the problem with the frame. So I don't think there is any need to replace the door. Before I approach any interior door repair service, it will be useful if you could suggest some DIY methods to fix the issue. I came across an article on how to repair a door frame (4 Ways to Repair a Door Frame - wikiHow). I would like to know if you guys have any other suggestions or some other easy methods for repairing the door frame.
 
I doubt the frame is damaged at all. My guess is the trim got knocked loose. First step might be to replace, one at a time, the hinge screws with ones long enough to go into the framing behind the frame. I would check and see if the catch plate got bent or something as well.
