I too have used these knob hole stoppers of varying sizes to great exstent however I do believe the are entirely overpriced as you demostrated ($4 a piece).
Behind a door this would be fine but honestly we can find things to use that cost less. Time is a consideration so sometimes this is the best fix.

Often times I’ll run into a door that has just the part next to the backset(latch) knocked out. I take the door knob off and replace the backset with a new one. Then after I’ve cleared any broken wood away I’ll cut a piece of mesh to just fit the damaged part. I use the type that is made to fix holes in sheet rock with. It’s about two inches wide,comes on a roll and is sticky on one side. Then I’ll mix up some trusty JB weld and apply over the mesh. When this stuff hardens it’ll be as strong as the original. Then paint and reinstall the door knob and you’re ready to go. Every now and then Momma will miss baby daddy when she throws the rolling pin and hit the door making a rather large hole in it. I’ll fill the hole with foam spray insulation almost even with the outside of the door. Then I’ll finish up with sheet rock mud then sand and paint.

Here is a tip that has worked well for me. Utilize the skin of an interior door to repair the side of a cabinet, or rip it into door jamb material.

We have used luan to replace entire sides of doors and patched a few with it.

We have opportunity at times to buy paneling seconds from our supplier for $2.00 a sheet. We use these to re-skin interior doors and paint. Also on exterior doors we buy hardcore slabs at Menards for $50.00 and cut them to fit. When this is done you need to prime and paint outside and edges well.

I keep a supply of cheap yard sale mirrors on hand and cover holes on bed/bathroom doors with them. I’ve also used the mirrors to cover a single hole on walls.

you can also cover the fist holes with the round door
protectors you peel off the back and stick on the wall
behind the door to keep the door knob from going into
the sheetrock.I have noticed they look pretty spiffy
painted with kilz and installed about anywhere.For $4,
you can fix a hole in the wall pretty fast.I usually
add a couple dots of liquid nail because the tape on
the back of the door protector doesnt seem to want to
work very well.
