Right now my closet door will not stay closed unless we lock it. Even my newer armoire drawer won't close. We have a humidifier on our furnace but I don't think it is doing much.

Thinking about wood swelling and shrinking makes me wonder what else is affected in the home with the humidity levels, besides the cabinets! Doors especially, I think.

In winter they shrink a bit and in summer they expand to their original state. We have a temperature/humidity controlled home and it still happens.
