For the past week one of the doors has been binding slightly on the

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.


Seems counter-intuitive until you realise there's a reason that
everything is wet in Winter.
