Mechanical failure of the door latch is a possibility. Also, if the door or door latch was somehow moved out of alignment the door won’t shut properly. An inspection of your door should be carried out by a qualified technician like the ones here at YourMechanic in order to ensure the proper operation of the door latch assembly.
