Swollen or rubbing door edge

Do not trim blindly

Removing material before understanding the cause can create excessive gaps when the door dries or moves back.

Find the moisture route

External exposure, wet floors, unsealed edges, bathroom humidity or a water leak can affect timber and some engineered products.

Adjustment versus replacement

Minor movement may be managed by adjustment or controlled trimming; significant swelling, delamination or repeated moisture damage can point toward replacement.
