door doesn't shut

My doors are getting old. Both take more effort to fully shut these days. I don't like having to slam the door to shut it. What parts/adjustments do I need to do? I'm not as good at this kind of thing. I can yank the engine and swap the clutch in 4 hours but not this I guess.
Help please? Would the striker plates fix this?

The doors probably sagged a little over time. You should be able to make the adjustments at the stricker plate. the door hinges are trickier to deal with.

Mine was solved by replacing the door striker plates. The plastic cracking and falling out caused the issue.

Doors don't show signs of sagging, like ramping up to close. Sounds like just the striker plates. Thanks guys for the input.
