About 12 months ago a mate fitted 4 new decent quality interior
doors for us. He is brilliant with wood, I'm not.
For the past week one of the doors has been binding slightly on the
casing.
The casing has not moved, the hinges are still tightly screwed in
and the joints on the door are not coming apart.
Nothing heavy is hung on the door, just a dressing gown.
Door does not get direct sunlight, house is not damp.
House is about 50 years old, so I doubt subsidence.
I just sanded a bit off the offending part of the door and it is
now fine.
Has anybody got any ideas why this door should suddenly start to
bind?


I have one that I have to sand down a bit most years. I think it's
just absorbing moisture from the air in summer.

Yep. Indoor humidity is max in summer.

One door, er, next door is binding but once the temperature drops and
the humidity gets back down to reasonable levels it'll be OK.
It did the same in the hot weather and then was OK.
Don't go taking bits off or it'll be gappy when it shrinks.

Humidity, yes.
There was very little dust on the floor as I sanded very little off the
door.
Thanks to all that replied.

I hope you gathered up every grain by hand.
