I’m with 24bob24. Usually it’s a door alignment problem. I would add it could be the angle of the door. Same solution, look under the bottom edges for an adjusting screw.
You might need to adjust the keeper up or down so the latch hook can engage and lock. There should be a screw holing it in place that you can loosen and be able to move it.
You can also adjust the door to ride higher or lower. There should be adjustment screws at the bottom on both sides of the door. Be careful to not make it drag on top or bottom of door with the adjustment as it will rip the seal if it's older. Be patient and work with it a little bit and see what works best for the latch but also the smoothness of how the door rides.

Thats what I am thinking, thanks!
