Hey folks,
I noticed some of the trim around this door is bending. I assume it is likely due to humidity but any other possible causes? This is in the basement where it is typically cool.
What do you recommend I do to fix it? Just some simple wood glue and something to hold it in place as the glue dries?
That’s probably too much warping for humidity. The hinges are probably pulling that side of the door lower.
Do you own this property? If so, I would pull the trim off completely, rehang the door properly, with longer screws through the hinges to hold them up to the framing, and then put the trim back on.
If you rent, call your landlord to do the above.
Weight of the door would stretch this side, not shorten it.
I tend to lean towards it being humidity since we have only noticed it happened in the last couple of weeks where temperatures in this area are higher than normal, humid and our AC has not been working for months (just had it repaired today).
