Default Side door adjustment procedure?

we bought a used 2003 Express. The side door latch needs adjustment. The only way to get in the side door is to push in on the door about a foot above the latch then operate the handle. Similarly, once in, to get out you have to pull in on the handle. If you don't push in on the door, the door acts as if it is locked. Can you briefly describe what needs adjusting? Thanks! Kip

Sounds like the door pin might be in too tight? Is a slider or regular door?
When closed does it line up flush with the body, or seem a bit recessed?
You can also take off the door panel from the inside and spray white grease on the moving parts.
