   sounds like the door latch has passed away could try some wd40 on it see if it frees something up

   Either door latch or it's dropped on the hinges.

   I have this with my doors, I put wd40 on as they seemed stiff, best way to shut the door is to shut steadily and hold it for a second when closed.
