The dead bolt on our front door rubs against the catch and I have to lift on the door to get it to lock/unlock. I have fixed it previously by elongating the hole and moving the jamb plate, but the problem is back.
Looking at the top of door, there is about 5/8" gap on the knob side and less than 1/8" on the other side. It seems to happen a lot to homes, but well built commercial buildings never have this problem.
What is the orthodox repair for a problem of this type with doors and what causes it?
