Default Sagging Door (was "How difficult to "build" a Door") III


For those crazy enought to try to follow the multiple threads:

OP1 - Sagging Garage Door 6-17-12
OP2 - How difficult is it to "build" a door? 7-11-12

In a nutshell, I got a sheet of 1/2" MDF from HD cut to 32x80", attached
some blocks for the hinges, installed the old lockset, and viola, I've
built a (very crude and temp) door. The garage is at least secure.

The old and offending door is on work-horses in the basement. I am
evaluating the potential for rebuilding the door. Methinks it
doesn't look so good:

Your candid opinion is solicited (dbp, are you out there?). Near as I can tell, it
isn't worth re-building.

Thx,
P
