Helping a friend.Garage side door is destroyed.I was asked if I could fix or replace it.Gonna replace it.Went to Home Depot but nobody could help me that knew anything about doorsother than to ask if I wanted it pre hung which I don't think I do.I'll just "replace" it, one to one, if I can.The knob and hinges I can swap over, can't I?It doesn't need to look exactly the same she said.It needs to be exterior/interior though.Here is a photo. [ is 1-3/8" thick, 31-3/4" wide, and 80" tall.Owner doesn't really care if there's a window or not.What's the process of buying a door & replacing it?

To keep out the elements unlike an interior door. Even an air leak could be annoying.

That's what weather stripping is for. Another reason for a pre-hung door.

Too tight a door and it will bind should the framing and/or door expand.
