Open door and close until it's just ajar by a few mm. Is the gap even from top to bottom when looking face-on and when looking sideways along the edge of the door?
If it's still hanging straight and has just swolen at the bottom, then you can just run a sheet of sandpaper underneath until it runs freely.

Do heavy wooden front doors warp?
Mine has started not open jng easily and seems to catch on the bottom edge and where the lock mechanism is, meaning it is too tight a fit to easily unlock with the key from outside.
To make this better I have shifted the lock housing in the frame back a bit but now can't do the second deadlock up.
All in all, it seems o have warped or twisted somehow.
How can I best diagnose this and who should I speak to about fixing it? Or is it new door time?
