What it usually is
Seasonal swelling, loose hinges and a strike plate that is no longer aligned are the common causes. This type of fix is small handyman work.
What to do first
Check the hinge screws and see where the latch hits the strike plate. A pencil mark on the latch can show how far off it is.
