Doors? Or drawers?
My doors won't close all the way if there is something against them...have trouble with the two doors under the sink but will close if all bottles, etc . are near the back. If drawers, look at the back and see if something is hitting the back of the cupboard.
Sometimes all it takes is the tightening of one of the screws on the door hinge. Place a level on the top of the door while someone else screws one of the screws on the bottom hinge either tighter or more loose. Even that small adjustment may help with your door problem.

If fixing the hinges did not work, your door may have warped from water damage possibly. Try using a level to see if they are still straight.
Rosalia....They may be swelling and you can sand the areas that are sticking or remove the draw and see if a screw or support is loose. Good luck
See if something is stoping them from the inside .if not are they falling apart that there uneven that would do it.take the draw out and see how the bottom is laying it should be flush up into the sides of the draw
