Be aware of two things.  (1) The door hinges themselves can be 
shifted on the door frame (at least on my Spitfire), so that might be 
a better fix than tweaking the latch mechanism.  (B) A sagging frame 
(i.e. rusted, weak, bending) can make the doors seem to be sagging.  
Do check the frame (unless you are sure it is just fine after all).

Just my $0.007.
