thanks

Turned out on two of the the bores on two of the hinges were just too mangled. The doors kept sagging. I did as johntsmith did, and bought the complete hinges from classic. Worked great, doors are nice and tight now. In hindsight, for the effort and price, I should have done that from the start.
