The connection where the opener arm attaches to the door is not as
secure as I would like. It was fine, but a spring broke and things got
quite stressed more than it should. It is no longer possible to get the
bolts as tight as I would like into the door.

I am considering a steel plate on the outside and bolt it though the
plate. That should function well enough. (Note per the instructions there
is a steel angle as a brace under the opener arm on the inside of the door
now. The door itself seems solid and everything is functioning OK.

I am also considering this as an opportunity to just replace my two
doors with something a little nicer and with windows.

Any suggestions or comments?

I get the impression that you really want a new door (grin).

I've seen recent installs of this brand and can say the doors are
excellent quality. I'm only passing a link.
