saggy door

How easy of a fix is this? It used to not be too bad, but now I can barely shut my door.

Typically not a biggie but you need to determine 1st what the issue is, then address...typically it's just worn hinge pins but, sometimes the hinges need a "little adjustment".

Almost positive it's pins. Didn't know how easy that was.

I can move the door up and down if I grab it by the latch end if that helps with diagnosis.

Not a big deal, a hinge pin repair kit (cheap) can be found at about any auto parts store. It includes a pin, new bushings and a E-clip to hold it in place. Be sure to support the door with a jack, drive the old pin out with a long punch and hammer or air chisel, insert the bushings and tap the new pin in and put the E-clip on - done!

Some times the old pin can fight you a bit it has splines on the end with the wider pin "stop" head. Be sure you're driving out from the end without it.

Hope this helps....
