I have seen door checks go bad in 2 ways that are not fun.

First is the door will not open. Bad but the car is still drivable.

Second is the door is open and will not close. Bad if you are not home. Driving around town with the door fully open can be fun.

I suggest you get it fixed before one of the above happens.
