I have a couple sticky doors that won't close. How do I fix them? I've tried rubbing soap on the sides.

Bill, WD 40
My hubby gets his wood planer out, and just removes a little at a time. Until the door closes easier
You can sand or shave off some of the wood (if it's a wood door)
Hi. Check to make sure the hinges haven't loosened from the door frame. If they have remove the door and hinges and use wood putty to fill the holes. Allow to dry. Then replace the door. The putty will re-secure the hinges. Good luck.
