If it is the latch that is sticking lubricate it or replace it. If the door sticks on the latch side: Plane down the latch side or if the screws on the hinges are loose tighten them, if necessary use longer screws or fill the screw holes. you can also use longer screws to pull the door jamb closer to the framing making the door opening wider. if the door sticks at the top or the bottom you can cut some material off the top or the bottom

∙ 8y agoDoors that are sticking are sticking for a variety of reasons, all have different fixes. If there is high humidity in the area of where the door is that is sticking then the door might be swelling, in that case a dehumidifier should help take the humidity out of the door. If a door is sticking due to it being painted and the paint is rubbing you should sand the door down where is it rubbing till it closes smoothly, then repaint. Sometimes doors do not close properly and stick due to the hinge screws backing themselves out of the door or frame. Try tightening the screws down first to see if it was a loose hinge. If carpet is getting in the way of a closing door and sticking the door needs to be trimmed on the bottom edge. Running some carpenter tape over the edge then trimming it with a trim saw should help out this problem. Lightly sand and you would be set. .
