Door Latching Mechanism - Temp Fix?
My 95" door's other than the hinge play and they need to be worked, I noticed that the latch mechanism " plastic Bush"? was worn, cracked.....so I took some 1/2" very hard woven plastic tubing called "Beverage Flex" and split it down the middle, wrapped just nicely to the metal shaft and well it's working! Kinda tighten that end of the door quite well...cheap fix, just wanted to pass it on...

You can buy those plastic sleeves real cheap in the help section at just about any parts store too. And the hinge pins and bushings. I used to use a dogde pin and bushing set on fords that were really wallered out. They are bigger.
