I'm as "handy" as a dead slug. I have a couple of doors in a very old farm house that I would like to replace (one bathroom and one bedroom). To my untrained mind the easiest thing would be to buy two doors and simply connect them to the old hinges. However when looking around stores like Home Depot I see that one cannot just buy a replacement door, we have to buy the door and a frame. If I do that , how the heck do I remove the old frame? Do I just bang away until it starts moving? In this old house I'd be afraid of the wall falling down. Is it possible just to buy replacment doors somewhere, or should I be learning how to do the full job? Your advice is appreciated.

Any one out "there" know of a supplier for replacing aluminum door frame parts, i.e., the bottom door track. Unfortunately, we can't locate the brand of the door, but it looks like a standard track with the rollers running on a center rail which is missing a piece just shy of the middle of the track. There is a similar, though smaller track to the interior for the Screen. This is definitely an older home, for a long-time friend of the family. At one time, to make it more energy efficient, because of the wall thickness of the bricked home, they installed an additional aluminum sliding door unit on the outside of this original. I don't think I've seen that done previously, at least personally.
