I have a small dent on the inside surface of a Stanley metal exterior door. Any suggestions on how to repair? Thank You.

Same way you fix a dent in a car ....bondo
Four choices:
Pound it out from the other side.
Use a dent puller.
"Lead" it.
Use auto body putty.
I used to work in a shop where we hung steel doors. In slack times, we'd fix dented doors with Bondo and primer. Just be careful when you're leveling the Bondo not to sand through the zinc coating on the surrounding steel.
