Hi Lee.
Why is the door sagging? Are the hinges loose, or is the door
becoming racked? If the hinges are loose, you could back them
up on the inside of the door with a metal plate. If the door
is becoming racked (a parallelagram), you could run a metal
strap or a 1x4 from the top hinged corner to the opposite
lower corner. Place a jack or some sort of shims under the
bottom of the door to make it square, and secure the diagonal
piece with screws. You could also use some wire with a turnbuckle
that runs from the same corners.
Hope this helps.
Jim
