The deadbolt sticks when I lock it.

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

With the door open or the door shut?

If with the door shut, when that is in place, it directs the bolt to a
particular spot in the door jamb/plate. So maybe you need to file or
grind something off that piece instead.

if with the door open, put crayon or lipstick etc. on the bolt and it
will mark where it is hitting the plate. Works for the previous
paragragh too.

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