try rubbing the door edges down with a stick of beeswax, or failing that, if your wife has an old beeswax candle that she has forgotten about. Just remember to hid the rest of the candle, as it will make it pretty ugly. Start from the base to try to minimize the destruction, on you and the candle if she catches you!

ok thx you shush dont tell the wife lol
