My daughter has a steel entry door made by Masonite that she wants to

same brand door he should be able to get it installed OK. Anyone have
experience with just replacing a door only?
Metal or wood casing/jamb?

--It is a wood casing and jamb

Then assuming a new door isn't already mortised and drilled for lockset,
should be able to match existing locations so don't have a cobbled-up
frame to patch afterwards--again assuming it's in good condition, the
opening is square, etc., etc., etc., ...

A good finish carpenter can deal w/ anything given time and budget of
course, but fixing up existing problems equates to time--$$
