Angry dent in door

So my friend was opening the passenger side door when he opened it went right into another door that was open on a explorer. The dent is about a inch and a half tall and two and a half to three inches long and I was wanting to know if there is an easy way to get it out with out going somewhere to fix it?

If its creased,meaning a sharp corner almost impossible to get out with out being able to see it.
If its a push in dent you should be able to work it out from the inside but dont be in a hurry.

My advice:
Call a dent king guy or ask the dealer what company they use,if you have the door interior off for him it might be as low as $50.00 if all he has to do is come over and fix it.And you can make your buddy pay.
They have all the special tools for getting behing the crash bar etc.Well worth it.

WTF, I hope your kidding... Really, ask your dealer who they use for paintless dent repair and make your friend pay for it.

Don't people look at the car next to them and make sure no one is in it, or opening a door before they open there door?

yes people do do it, and its pretty effective if its not a huge dent or doesn't have a hard crease like they were talking about. Unfortunately i've never tried it to know exactly how its done, i just know that the dry ice is cold enough to cause the metal to contract and be pulled back into place.. thats the theory anyway, no need for peckin it out from the inside or fillin it with bondo

post pics!
