Other materials

Not only wood but other materials like metal can also expand when they are exposed to high humidity and temperature changes. These hacks can help alot

Hack 1: Sandstone paper

Rubbing a piece of sandstone paper around the door at the place where it is getting jammed can be helpful. It will loosen that area of the door

A dehumidifier or a hair dryer can be used to dry moisture around a door. They suck in the air and remove moisture lessening the jam.

Hack 3: Rubbing soap

Rub a dry and moisturiser-free soap at the edges of the door so that it leaves a powdery residue . Repeat it every time when humidity occurs.

Hack 4: Painting the doors

Getting the doors painted before the monsoon is a good idea to avoid this problem. This will prevent moisture on the doors and protect them from germ
