Finishing question...

I have a cabinet door, commercial built, cherry. I wanted to relocate the
knob. I took the old one out and made a plug for the hole. But no matter
how I try I cannot get the finish to match where this plug is. I'm afraid I
sanded too much around it and now it always comes out lighter then the rest
of the door. Is there a good way I don't know about to fix this or do I
need to shell out $100 for a new one?

The surface of cherry darkens with time. If you sand it, you expose light
wood.
It will catch up, eventually...

Without seeing it, it is hard to be certain; but I expect I would sand the
entire door to make it uniform.

Putting it out in the sun for a couple of days will darken it very quickly.
