The deadbolt sticks when I lock it.

When I take this piece out, there is no sticking.

I tried using a rash to file off some of the opening, but no luck.

You have to take the right part off. You may not be getting the part
that is actually sticking.

Also, is the door sagging? If this is new it would be probably rubbing
on the bottom, but make sure the door hinges are not loose too.
