How about squaring up the house a little? I've seen doors like yours where
the problem was fixed in the basement, via a screwpost and a couple of
spreader plates, as close as possible to where the sagging is occuring. Only
takes a few minutes to install, and give it a whack every day till things
start moving. Pretty cheap, too.

Unfortunately the person I am helping lives in a multi-unit condo and
she is in the upper unit, hence I don't really have access to the
foundation level.

I've trimmed the latch hole opening as close to the screw hole as
possible and on Monday I'll find out if that is succiificient. If not,
I'll be looking for a longer striker plate.
