During humid weather, wood naturally absorbs moisture from the air and expands, which causes doors to rub against their frames or even jam. This is a common seasonal issue, especially in homes without proper ventilation. Sometimes, the problem can also result from loose hinges, warped frames, or years of paint buildup that restrict smooth movement.
To fix it, first reduce indoor humidity with a dehumidifier or by improving airflow. Identify where the door is sticking, sand or plane the affected area lightly, and reseal it to prevent future swelling. Tightening hinge screws or applying weather-resistant paint can also help keep the fit stable year-round.
