As someone who has dealt with this (including taking the original hardware, ordering replacement cover plates and misc gears, cleaning and polishing everything, greasing, etc).....

Replace the door, it will save you a lot of misery.

If its for a front door, replace everything, frame included, and get a nice insulated assembly.

YMMV. My mileage was horrible. Do not recommend.

If I was keeping the place I probably would.

I’m selling it tho so I really don’t care. Let them find all the problems the paint is hiding if they want later.
