Saggy….doors?

[Jalloway]

Ok we’ve all been there… after a while our doors get saggy and a bit hard to open and close. What do we do? Noninvasive door lift. Also known as, I used up scrap crap. Good news is, adding crossbars really does help. Ideally you want corner to corner, but my scrap crap wasn’t long enough.

Good job!

Those old-fashioned screen door turnbuckles work too.

When this has happened on my doors, I simply use a piece of wire for tension to pull it square -- install a screw in opposite corners, prop door up from sagging, loop wire around the two screws so you at least have doubled up wire, tie them together and then take a screwdriver and twist it in the center, if there's a center bar put a screw through the loop created by the screwdriver so it can't untwist. Basically like a turnbuckle and cable/rod, but simple DIY style with some baling wire, fence wire, etc. Currently have this on 3 gates and it works well for me.

Flat elbow brackets would have worked on these small door. Adding inside brackets will really stiffen them up too.
