Signs: the door sags, rubs, sticks or has uneven gaps around the opening or the latch, handle, hinge or ordinary running hardware no longer lines up or operates normally. Causes: normal wear in hinges, latches or compatible mechanical hardware or loose fixings, minor alignment drift or ordinary timber movement.
