Stuck Door

I have a 93 Explorer. I had a rollover, in my opinion the damage was overall minor, but the cost of repair exceeded the value of the truck.
The Rear hatch is stuck, I can open the window, but when I attempt to open the door all I get is nothing, I am assuming that the door is jammed. Would I be smart to try and open this door so that I can replace/fix it. Or should I just leave it as is?

If you had a rollover you have distorted the body therefore
if you try to open the door ,you may not be able to get it closed again
unless you porta power the door opening,or stretch the body back into shape ,most times you never get it right .Thats why they usually total rollovers.

Thanks for the advice. I think I am going to just leave it as is, besides a new door to put it on the back is $450 from where I get my parts.
