Maybe you intended this for @Quincy; regardless, my guess was related to what can happen around here where we have soils with high expansive clay content and wildly fluctuating temps and precipitation.

It was more a general comment, but yes, it's likely the cause of the issue with the hinges of @Quincy
We get some similar structural movement with the timber framed house builds which are typical for new Scottish houses. As the timber dries out, square frame openings turn into a parallelogram. Or sometimes sided of door frames end up bowed or twisted.

The majority of failed friction hinges that I see is down to neglect.
An occasional clean off with a stiff paintbrush to remove dust and spiders webs. Followed by some silicon spray for the frame track where the slider goes up and down and around the top cap. Some 3in1 oil for the hinge pivot points.
Whilst your at it, give the locking mechanism a squirt of 3in1 as well.
