Front storage door

Hi guys, has anybody had any problems closing the front storage door. Mine requires force in order to close, this is damaging my exterior hinge at the wall of storage door. The hinge seems to be binding, see pictures.
This is a gravity door.

I have not had this issue

Are the hinges installed backwards?

I believe the door can be slid off sideways to separate the hinge halves.
Maybe do that to lubricate and inspect for debris or bent parts.

The door does slide off, had the door off and cannot figure out what is wrong, I will try to lubricate and see if that solves the problem. These hinges are just 1/2 moon for exterior and interior. Alliance is going to send me a new exterior and interior hinge. Thanks for the advice

My 2024 model 37MBR started doing the same. It was fine one day and started binding the next.

I had a similar problem with my basement door. There was a raised spot/lump along the left edge of the door. You had to look carefully to really notice it. It caused the door to cock slightly when closing. I had to hammer the bottom right corner with the base of my hand to get it fully closed which was causing damage to the frame. Door and frame were replaced under warranty and cured the issue.

Thanks for this idea you've given me.. I should check our basement door where the utility panel is for lumps and bumps. There's no problem closing but the catcher section of the compartment (where the water hose is inserted) collected a lot of water the other day when we had 6" of rain.
