Door rubbing on the floor seems to come closest to what appears to be described. I found no references, so it seems to be colloquial. This is one time I wish I could split the points between Kristian and Auree

  -> Even better. My door does exactly this, but I never got round to doing anzthing about it.
neutral  Maria Chmelarova: squeaky= vŕzgajúce dvere, they need an oil, but rubbing door against floor is O.K.
