Safety first
Stop using a door that appears unstable, off track, unusually heavy or unable to secure. Do not handle garage-door springs or loose high-tension cables.
Repair may solve localized problems
Loose hinges, a misaligned latch, worn weatherstripping or a damaged threshold can sometimes be addressed without replacing the entire door.
Replacement may be better for a failed slab or frame
Severe warping, rot, rust, water damage or an opening that no longer fits correctly may justify replacement.
Inspect the sill and surrounding frame
A new door will not solve water or movement problems if the underlying opening remains damaged.
Match the material to exposure and maintenance
Fiberglass, steel and wood each have different appearance, maintenance and exposure considerations.
