Fixed front door

Most likely the hinges. As wood dries it "shrinks". This may have happened to your door jam/door and the holes that mount hinges enlarged. three things I would try:

Ensure all hinge screws are tightened as tight as you can get them

Take out screws and but some wooden "filler" in the holes (toothpicks, wood slivers, ect)

Final and least preferred, use bigger screws in every other hole in the hinges
