Like Jeff said your problem is more than likely in the hinges. It's very common for the bushings and pins to wear out in the hinges. When they wear the doors sag and it doesn't line up with the striker.

Try getting the door almost closed and lifting up on the door handle. If you have up and down play the bushing are worn. You can buy kits to repair them at some auto parts.
