Spending a few days at my mother's house looking after her since she had
surgery. The bedroom I'm in has a sticking door and it makes noise when I
get up to go the bathroom. Then the dog hears it and starts barking and
everyone wakes up.

The door is sticking at the jamb side below the top hinge. Is there
something I can do to fix this temporarily? I considered rubbing some bar
soap on it but haven't tried it yet. Taking the door off and planing it
then repainting and all that is not a good option right now.


If you have a candle, rub some candle wax on the spot where the door is sticking. The candle wax shouldn't harm the paint and will silence the noise. The wax also works on the bolt mechanism and won't stain your clothing if you rub up against the door where it's applied. There is something called "Saw Wax" which I used for years to lube doors and window slides. It's a very versatile lube. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
