    if you are only going to replace the door slab, the door itself, then you should not have a probelm. Try the Habitat for humanity ReStore. They may have a slab there that will work.

    The door frame looks pretty run down. There is rot at the bottom of both side lights also. They generally cannot be repaired unless you are a hands on person.

    Take the side lights out, trim the bottom and replace with new wood or composite. If you hire someone, it will cost.

    A side light may cost $70 - $90 without any glass detail. ...»

    You may choose to replace the frame and keep the slab if in usable condition. There is a white spot at the bottom and not sure what that is.

    We provide entry systems as well as frames. We can refer for installation or you can find someone on this site.

    Unfortunately, from what I can see in the picture, it needs replacement. There is a liquidation store up in Cumming that may have inexpensive parts or entire door units.

    I agree with Darby. It's worth checking at the Habitat ReStore. Our local outlets always seem to have front doors on hand.

    When considering the budget, keep in mind that a steel door replacement (or, I am guessing, a good fiberglass door) is listed as the only home improvement project that brings greater than 100 percent return on investment in the highly regarded Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value report.

    There is an outlet in Atlanta, and several other outlets around the state.
