  1. Firstly you need to check the sticking point. Check the top edge because a steel door generally sticks along the top as the door becomes sagging. 

  2. Tighten the strike plate if you find that the door is sticking due to friction. Tighten the screws of the plate in clockwise motion to eliminate this issue.

  3. You should check the hinge screws as well. Take a screwdriver and tighten the screws located on the door frame. But you should tighten the screw carefully. Don't over-tighten as you may end up breaking the screw. 

  4. If nothing works by now, you need to use longer screws to tighten the door so that the door moves without getting stuck. You need to remove the middle screw from the top hinge and use a 3-inch wood screw. I am sure this will solve your problem.
