sticking door

Short term fixes:

Easiest- Get rid of the dog.

If that's not an option, try whacking the sticking spot with a rubber mallet.

Next easiest- put a two foot length of 2x4 flat along the jamb over the sticking spot and hit it with a heavy hammer or light sledge.

Either of these might set the jamb and stud back a fraction and end the sticking.

Long term: try to locate where and why the floor/wall is sagging.

I usually shave a little wood off the door with a plane. Right now with AC off I see a little more door sticking because of humidity.

Once in a while you get lucky and just have to tighten the screws holding the hinge.

Alternate is to not close the door all the way. Mom won't be peeking in.

I'd try the soap first, what do you have to lose?

A hard wax like parafin or a candle will work better than a bar of soap and should relief the problem for as long as you need to be there. A more complicated fix is probably not in your best interest at this particular time,.

Have tried tightening the hinges, both on the door and the frame to ensure the alignment of the door is at it should be?

Forgot your clubs?  Ok, maybe that's a bit extreme.

Maybe go to the nearest Pestmart and get Fi-fi a nice muzzle?

Back out the screws in that hinge by 1/4 turn. Still stick? Back them out a bit more. If you back them out too much it will start rubbing on the strike jamb.

I just used a belt sander to take off a 32nd. Done. Bathroom hollow door.
