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?

just rub the offending part with a candle.


HA! and Yeah.
I did actually try a smear of Vaseline whilst looking for the quick easy
fix.
It did not work.


But, thanks anyway :-)


a candle is wax, not petroleum jelly. All good woodworkers carry a candle
in their toolbox.
