Door Lock and Latch Problem

I'm having problems with the latches and locks on my '71

I think the latches are out of adjustment as you really have to slam the doors to get them to close. What would be the procedure to adjust them?

Now the locks might be the same or different problem. The drivers side will not lock from the key, only the plunger. The passenger side will lock from both but sometimes gets jammed and the only way to open it is to grab the plunger with a pair of pliers. Both sides seem to open from the key except when the passenger side is jammed.

I guess I need to go through and rebuild/repair them. Am I better sticking the the OE pieces or are the repops decent?

Thanks in advance

Rick
