Notes to answerer
Asker: Frankly I can't understand the process or fact here. Is it a kind of connecting two joints? Thank you in advance.

the door frame miter joints have opened


Explanation:
This is woodworking lingo.
the door frame miters have opened

Example:
If there's a slight gap between the molding and the wall, don’t press the trim tight to the wall and nail it; the miter joint might open up

Example sentence(s):
  • By removing some material from the back edge of the mitered face of one or both mating pieces, you may be able to close the OPEN JOINT on the face of the joint (
  • To prevent MITERS from opening, drive a 4d finishing nail through the edge of the head and side casings about 3/4 inch from the outside corner
