Not much help now but when it dries out treating with water seal (the stuff for bricks) two coats. Stops it absorbing the water

Worked on my garage door.

Don't whatever you do shave a bit off, it'll never fit when the swelling goes down

That's interesting, I sorted out my sliding balcony doors with Bootylube from Ann Summers.

We must get round to changing that. If you use & the site corrects it to amp which is short for ampersand

At my old house, before I had upvc replacement doors & windows, the kitchen door used to swell up so much I had to plane it down every year. When it dried out in the summer, there was a gap that an elephant would have had little trouble negotiating
