Poven Fix???

So I searched the forum for a fix for saggy doors and found a plethora of information, a little overwhelming actually. Does any have a proven method for fixing the saggy doors I seen someone that sells a tool that does it and also heard pins, bushing, and hinges. So what is the best way to do it without having to redo it every couple of months?? Thanks

Re: Poven Fix???

for a proven fix, you need to know exactly why your doors are sagging to begin with. Most have issues because the hinge pins are worn out and need replacing. Others have issues with their hinges being bent slightly out of shape and just need to tweak them back into place.

I'd suggest that more often than not the pins are the culprit. At any rate, the following link provides food for thought:
