Default Sticking front door

Lobster formulated on Saturday :
So the front door (ancient timber one) is sticking a bit at the bottom,
directly below the latch. Perfectly possible to open it without problem if
you apply a bit of lift to the handle when you pull, but you know what SWMBO
and kids are like.

Something Must Be Done.

I am very loathe to take a plane to it, as I'm sure it's a weather thing (has
happened before) and the timber will shrink back again leaving too large a
gap. (Have had this experience before and consequently the French windows
spend all the winter with a large strip of duck tape down the middle due to
the massive gap between the doors).

How is it best to handle a problem like this?


If it is a tiny amount, rub a candle along the bit where it is
sticking.
