        "text": "A contractor starts by inspecting the perimeter reveals—the reveal gap between the door slab and jamb—to pinpoint where rubbing or binding occurs. Next, they check the hinges for wear, loose screws, or improper mortise depth, as well as checking the jamb for plumb and level. The repair process typically begins with the least invasive fix: tightening hardware, installing longer screws into framing studs, or shimming behind hinge leaves. If rubbing continues, the technician will remove the door to plane the offending edge or pull the casing to adjust the frame shims before re-hanging, testing latch operation, and touching up finishes.",
