The point where a door rubs gives a clue to the cause. Contact at the top corner, lock side or floor requires different solutions.
Points to check
- Loose hinge screws
- Door alignment and frame gaps
- Humidity-related swelling in timber
- New flooring or carpet height
- Strike plate and handle mechanism
Why should material not be removed immediately?
If the cause is a hinge or frame adjustment, trimming the door may create an unnecessary gap. Fixings and alignment should be checked first.
A video helps
A short video showing the movement and contact point makes the initial assessment easier.
