Should I fix my broken doorknob or replace the whole door?
I broke it when I was locked out because I needed to get in quickly. The hole where the knob used to be is pretty messed up as is the lock mechanism.

It depends on what kind of window. The older single paned windows require only purchasing a piece of glass the same size and putting it in. Newer double and triple paned, gas filled etc. call for the expertise of a professional. With this kind they usually recommend you replace rather than repair.
Yes. Great sites from B.Enne. Lin has it right. Double pane widows cannot be repaired. The seal breaks, the gas ( usually Argon) escapes. The glass panel would need to be replaced not the whole window. Ace Hardware sells double pane glass panels and they also install or can recommend someone.
