could be numerous things
loose hinge especialy top !!!
when you lift the door is the frame tight !!

if the hinges are tight is there rub marks any where!!![between door and door or door and frame ect]

Is it a sliding or hinged one? If sliding, it might be there is a a dip on the rail that the wheels slide on, or maybe just some accumulated grit.

there may be a better way but I find it is necesary to wash the dirt out of the channel and rail, I use detergent and hot water in a watering can, and run the door back and forth to loosen the dirt, and keep pouring to wash it away.
