Its a Larson outside screen door, that has never been taking down, and used to work fine, well now the upper 15" of the door rubs the frame, and it also rubs the bottom 3 " of the frame........ what can it be?

Are the screws that hold the hinges in place tight? Are all the screws that hold the frame in place tight?

Use a level to check that things are plumb and set the level against the edges of the frame to see if anything may have been bent when something heavy hit it. No children swinging on the door? It seems that if this is new, something has changed. That is what I would be looking for.
