        "text": "Common warning signs include rubbing against the frame, latch bolts failing to align with strike plates, visible daylight or drafts around exterior access points, and soft or rotting wood near the floor. In basements, doors can also stick due to humidity changes or minor foundation shifting. If the door frame itself is cracked or warped, shaving down the door slab is only a temporary fix; replacing the entire pre-hung unit and re-squaring the opening provides a lasting solution.",
