Use a hinge leaf as a template to make a cardboard shim that you can slip behind the leaf.
Spray the hinges with lubrication.

Start by removing the hinge closest to the binding point.
This should prevent the door from sticking against the wall s surface on the hinge side.
An exposed hinge means that the metal of the hinge is not flush with the wood surface of either the door or the frame.
If your door binds at the hinges squeals during closing or stops almost immediately when pushed to close.
Most problems with binding doors occur with the hinges.
Once sure the binding doors issue is resolved screw in the other screws to fully reattach the door.
Clear any paint from the slots in the hinge screws and remove them.
If the hinge leaf is recessed only at the bottom or the top insert a shim behind only part of the hinge leaf.
