How can we get a better idea of what you mean by sagging?


Give me ambiguity
or give me something else

If you are cheap like me, on my 49, I removed the handles and then heated the part that goes to the latch until it was cherry red and twisted it in a vice until the handle was straight on the door. Go slow and take your time . It worked for me.
