--- Hi Al, You aren't the only person with this problem. First make 
certain the door frame is solid to the trailer, then of course the 
door is in correctly centered in the frame. (tight hinges, etc.)
 What I have found more than once is some misalignment between the 
striker plate.(too high or too low)and the latch. The latch may not 
always slide into the striker or if it does and the trailer flexs 
just a bit and opening can be a problem. Most of the time the striker 
will show rough edges top or bottom or evan rolled edges. Sometimes 
the hole in the striker plate is simply to small and just doesn't 
allow the latch to slide in and out of the striker plate easily. Park 
the trailer on a level spot and open the door and close slowly while 
watching the latch. I have cured some by grinding the hole in the 
striker larger with a die grinder. (up and down) Go at it a little at 
a time. Good Luck....Arnie
