I have often found this to be the case. The ground is too high on one side of the door or the other. Use your hoe to level it out and fix the problem. I also tend to use the gate instead of the door for this reason.

Also that reminded me just now too that there is another potential source of the issue:

If you have stairs connected in/out of the door, if the stairs are not properly aligned at/below the elevation of the bottom of the door, they'll clip above and cause some circumstances of being unable to get through the door.

Doors have a bottom threshold that seems kind of protruding when used on dirt only. This also trips up using the door as access to an animal pen. Wolves often just stop there when they should follow me. If there's several wolves the 1st one is often pushed through the doorway then the 2nd one gets stuck, etc. The gate has no threshold so their passage is unaffected.
I'm with the gate crowd on this one.

You could always just make a 1 wall high opening with a 45 roof cross snapped over the top of it to give yourself clearance, with no door attatched.

Yeah, I think it was not a smart move by the developers to make our vikings EXACTLY the height of the full wall pieces and the door. This seems to be a common problem.

This is... actually an intriguing idea. I'm going to try this out. :D

For wall height I use the standard wood beam and a short one on top. This lets you place the larger door perfectly. If the wall is just the lower door size and uneven terrain by the door can cause an issue.

I like to use the crossed beams over doors for this issue.

Yep, especially sometimes if a beam is used in the door frame, hence why I switched to the larger version.

Typically I find adding a beam on the bottom or top of the door causes this to happen. Not sure if this is your problem though.

Your description sounds similar to a thread made quite recently here.
So, it seems like you're not alone.
I mean, I too have problems leaving the house naked every morning, but my front door is working fine. ;P
