You should take out one of the hinge screws that are closest to the center of the jamb and run a long screw with the same head into the stud that is behind the jamb. Maybe 2-1/2” screw. Also hinges can be replaced easily

I’ve done the longer screw thing. I may try to replace the hinges next.

Entry Point on 441 in shopping center where Publix and Belk are. Entry Point is on the end close to Spanish Springs. I replaced my front door and side light. They have beautiful choices and get it done beautifully. Definitely recommend!

EntryPoint by Perry’s on Bichara. They save your door by cutting out the guts, inserting beautiful privacy lead glass and replace your sidelights with a matching glass. It’s beautiful and very cost effective considering the price of buying all new.

The company that has done thousands of such installations here in The Villages. Entrypoint by Perry next to Publix in Spanish Plaines shopping center. They did our front door, sidelights and half round window above the front door. They also have a terrific selection of leaded glass designs in all price ranges.

I used Perry's for my double front entry doors and transom over them and they did a fabulous job!

Does the whole door need to be replaced?

We worked with Perry’s. Structurally our door was fine. They were able to cut out the wooden center and replace it with decorative glass to let in more light. They did the same with the sidelight.Lots of beautiful designs to choose from.

Take a look down at Ro-Mac on Main Street in Leesburg. They have several to look at in house and catalogs with many, many options.

And why wouldn't you want "a typical handyman" to do it ?
I am a handyman and do a lot of work in TV and you would not believe how many calls I have received to fix things right to some supposedly "installers" from certain companies botched the initial installation.

I have nothing against handymen and I often refer people to several of them. But, if I were buying an expensive item like a front entry door, I would want the door supplier to install it and to guarantee the installation. I have seen door installations done incorrectly, and they are often difficult and expensive to repair.
