Signs: the door sags, rubs, sticks or has uneven gaps around the opening or the door closes poorly despite an otherwise sound visible opening. Causes: loose fixings, minor alignment drift or ordinary timber movement or local damage to an accessible component rather than an assumed structural defect.
