Elaborate on what you mean by "door is sagging".

the "Door sagging" is when the hinge has a bit of a play from being worn down over the years and it causes the door locks latches to be out of alignment from the striker latch on the body. making the door its self hit the striker piece first before the door latches catches on. You can replace that hinge or you can do what i did, loosen the hinges a little bit and jack up the door up( toward the end of the door) until you get it to lines up nicely then tighten the hinges back down make sure you bring it up enough to compensate for the "sagging"

I figure thats likely what hes referring to, but with the lack of details I refuse to assume. We get so many people not describing their issues correctly, providing limited details, then getting mad when they get answers based on what they wrote not being what they meant. I'm glad to see you at least know what you're talking about. Knowledgeable new members are always a plus.
