• Inspect weatherstripping and threshold seals for cracks, flattening, or gaps
• Look for peeling paint, swollen trim, or soft wood near the bottom of the frame
• Make sure landscaping and gutters are not feeding water into the doorway
• A pattern of sticking often points to a weather-related movement issue
