Apartment Door Sagging on Hinges

We replaced the old hinges on our apartment’s front door (to the building’s hall) with 6 inch Everbilt spring loaded hinges. This worked well for a few months, but the door is now sagging in the frame and difficult to close. The screws connecting the door to the hinge and the hinge to the frame all seem tight–the issue seems to be within the hinge case. The work was done by a contractor, so I’m hesitant to call a handyman without express expertise in door issues, but locksmiths also don’t seem to be asking the right questions. Who would be best suited to help us with this?

Im assuming Santos contact details are still the same as I have here.

Santos – pliniosanto25@gmail.com – +1 (347) 701-0635

He did the custom trim and custom balustrades from scratch that we needed in the hallway. I wouldn’t even be able to pick the new from the old in the sections he replaced etc.

Santos, how could I get in touch with you? Our door does not have visible damage like the picture you posted–visibly is looks to be in fairly good shape but needs to be rejiggered. Attached are two pictures [IMG_3255[1]](img_32551.jpg) [IMG_3258[1]](img_32581.jpg)

We’ve used Santos for work in our building before. I am sure based on his work he would be able to solve this problem.
