I think Jim has the answer. It is because there is too much pressure on the door latch. If it is hard to lock you can move the striker plate on the door jamb out a little. Just be sure to mark around it with a fine felt tip marker before you loosen the bolts so you know where it was originally. I would only move it out about 1/16th of an inch to start with. Make sure it doesn't drop down any....
