I want to replace the old one there now. Should I get just a door or the door with the frame? Which would be easier? Any more tips would help. Thanks.

It would probably be easier to just replace the door.
Take the old one down by removing the hinge pins (carefully with a screwdriver and hammer if necessary).
Measure the door carefully - and then go check out some places. If you are strapped for cash, check with some salvage places - a lot of them have brand new stuff for a fraction of the price.
If the hinges are recessed on the old door, you will either have to find another one that already has recesses cut (or have them cut). Make sure to take these measurements off the old door too.
Good luck!

If you can cut in your own hinges and lock, a door slab is the cheapest. If you replace the entire door and frame with a pre-hung unit, you’ll need to remove and reset the casings, also. I guess it’s six of one half dozen of the other; each will take about the same amount of time.

How old is the frame?
Would probably be easier to replace the door, than the frame, and less time consuming.
