still sagging and not tight enough
hi guys, I changed the door pins and found that my door still sagging, the door didn't lock tight enough before, now they still don't, changed the door pins improved a little bit but didn't solve the problem.
I don't wanna buy door hinge, they are too expensive and I have to purchase thru the internet (I am live in Taiwan), is there any other way to do or the problem is not the door hinge?
Thanks a lot!
Joe

Re: still sagging and not tight enough
I have this problem too. Just changed the door pins (upper and lower) too. The problem now is that the actual mount on the frame is bending with the weight of all those years gone by. The shop who did my pins told me the next time was going to require a welder. You may be in the same boat.
Options? Well, I don't recommend anything but the welder but I have heard of gents putting a jack under their door and cranking it up but this sounds like a bad idea to me.

Re: still sagging and not tight enough
My friend told me I may need to replace the door hinge, and I just replaced the lower pin, I though there is only one door pin each side, is it?
Is there any others parts I should purchase to fix the sagged door ? my body work should be done after fix the door, the door problem is killing me
