Saggy door?

Anyone have suggestion for fixing a sagging door? It's not sagging too much, but it is enough that it takes a good slam to shut it.

Are the hinge pins worn? Open the door about ah foot and lift it. If it rattles then you know you have lose/worn hinge pins.

Thought the door was saggy, but seems it wasn't. It lines up with the body correctly. Also, there's no wiggle when trying to lift it. Replaced the striker bolt and sleeve and it shuts nicely now. The old bolt has a groove worn into it and almost looks like a grinder was taken to it.
