Place a straight edge against the hinge knuckles to make sure the centre pins are all in the same line. ( How to explain this in words. ) Parallel to the face of the door and then at 90deg to the face.
If a hinge is off line then you will get the binding effect.Don't force it, use a bigger hammer.
Timber is what you use. Wood is what you burn.

Just take the hinges off the door and jamb and insert a couple of thicknesses of printer paper under the hinge.
