Your lease should tell you if you own a door and whether it is your responsibility to maintain and repair it. If you do own it, you will have to pay for its replacement or upgrade, if this is necessary.
If the lease says that a door is the freeholder’s responsibility to maintain and repair, then usually you and the other leaseholders would pay to replace or upgrade it through your service charge.
