Best Answer

The implication of 'at the door' is that a person is waiting to be given access or at least to talk with someone who is at home. It would usually be a person who is 'at the door'. "The repair man is at the door", "John and Mary are at the door." 'By the door' could refer usually to any object that happens to be near the door, inside or outside. "Where is mom's umbrella?" "It's by the front door".
