Sometimes the door hinges are binding and causing stress that makes the hinge want to move. You can loosen some screws and see if that reduces the movement.
It's not always a door jamb out of plumb.

After a certain period of time and warping of the cyl you will either need a bigger pin or to just change out the whole hinge.
Watch this old house his fix isn't bending the pin...it's placing a shim in one or more of the hingest to put tension on the whole hinge so if it does warp anything it all warps together.

It works and is easy. You can call it anything you want and do what ever you want. |

Have you considered there is nothing wrong with the door and it's the gremlins that live underneath the house ?

Thanks for all the replies. I will try each one and see what happens.
LOL=Rakin-the house is brand new and if I have gremlins, then they are living between first and second floor (problem door on 2nd floor)

Gremlins - of course.
The house was obviously built over a gremlin burial ground. It is a well known factoid that gremlins hover somewhere between 3' and 18' above their crypt and are always trying swing doors to bring closure.
