Doors make a loud sticky sounding noise when opened!

Our doors make a loud sticky sounding noise when we open them. It only happens when the doors were fully closed. If anyone could tell me the reason + any solutions would be great!

If you have paint on them just try to clean it, and use some grease, wd40, easier way!

spray WD40 in to hinges

Could simply be a Fire brush in the door rubbing on the frame,if its due to age or worn brushes you can replace them very cheaply yourself, cant really remove them altogether as they are there for a good reason!

WD40 on hinges, the heat dries the hinges out causing squeaks

you need to check if the hinges are in good condition and that the door is well positioned may need to be removed and the correct setting. Regards PNZ

First of all I would oil the hinges then Check to see when the door is shut that the door is not binding any where down the hinge side off the door if it is tight it will need planning down if not change the hinges hope this helps
