Well, I put a dab of silicone on my fathers front door that had been
gradually hanging worse and worse for about 4 or 5 years, year round, and
that was 10 years ago and it is still opening and closing fine. This is a
now 32 year old house.

Also, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. My house is much older than
that, and still moving around some. In fact, I just recently redid
the bathroom and had to plane the door slightly so that the newly
applied paint wouldn't be rubbed off. No silicon of use there.

While I have replaced several door and door jambs I some shot a nail
at an angle and nailed the door permanently shut while putting the inside
molding back on. My dad got a big kick out of that. :~)


Mine was stapling a couple of pieces while holding them together with
the other hand.
