you want the easy and cheap fix or the correct and good fix?Correct way is to replace door hinge bushings.
Easy way, take two washers and stick them under the bolts on the bottom hinge. This causes the door to lift up just enough so it closes correctly. Takes literally 5-6 minutes to do
.Whats wrong is the doors bushings go bad and cause the door too sag. Therefore its gotta take more force for the door to lift up to the latch on the inside.

Yea you can buy pin and bushing sets im pretty sure. You just gotta knock the old ones out and replace them. I've been told its pretty easy.
Shouldn't cost you too much. Since you said they are rounded out, than id change em.
