|  #1 Posted on 26.5.07 2220.48 | Instant Rating: 1.03 | The door to my children's room has been sticking as the weather has warmed up and the wood has expanded. If I am not mistaken, isn't there something I can rub along the top and sides of the door to help ease it closed? I seem to remember my father using something like a commercially produced bee wax type product.
Any ideas?

You can always adjust the hinges slightly to fix the problem, especially if it's not level or has extra room at the bottom. | MisterHenderson

Is it a solid wood door or a hollow core door?
