The problem must be in the latch and replacement is the permanent solution or you can contact 24 hour locksmith expert to help you.

I never dealt with such problems on my own as it's not my cup of tea. So, I prefer to hire a locksmith for that work.

Try cleaning and lubing the latch parts; often just are hanging up from debris. Can clean with WD 40 then apply a light oil after as WD 40 is not a lubricant. I apply small coating of motor oil to all my latch assemblies twice a year.
