Doors that won't close

Sometimes doors can become misaligned in time because of the normal expansion and contraction of wood.

Apply lipstick to the latch, and then adhere a stripe of masking tape on the strike plate. Close the door and open it. The lipstick will leave an impression on the tape at the point that the latch meets the strike plate hole. If the mark is located below the hole, this means that your latch needs to be moved upwards.
