Spray the heck out of the door latch mech with WD-40 and then lube it with something like 3-in-one oil..
It'll then close like "butter"... ;)
And if it doesn't.... It might need some adjustment...
When my trailer was brand new, the door would not close without pulling the handle when you closed it... Lived with that for about 3 years before I did the oil thing and it's been closing normally ever since! That was about 9 years ago too.. :)
Good luck!
