How to Fix a Sticky Door
More in Windows Walls and Doors
Step 1: Take Down the Door
Remove the door from its hinges. Start by tapping out the hinge pins. Once it’s off its hinges, move the door to a workspace to begin sanding.
Step 2: Plane off the Edges
Using the power planner, sand down a 32nd of an inch off the top of the door and a 32nd of an inch from the side of the door. Start with the blade outside the edge of the door; once you start trimming, keep the blade in motion until you reach the other edge. Stopping in the middle can cause an uneven trim.
Step 3: Seal and Rehang the Door
Seal the edges by spraying them with hairspray, and re-hang the door.
