Smile Re: Sticking door latch

If door hinge bushings/pins are worn, it will let door exert too much downward force on latch and require extra force to open--that is assuming door latch is adjusted to where the door fits correctly. If such wear is the culprit, temporarily adjusting the latch to where bushings/pins allow door to erroneously droop may make it easier to open, but is really a band-aid to the real problem.
HTH,
Sam
