The spring mech in the latch fails over time, tooth jams in open position.
This happened to me last month. Tried many tips to no avail. Fed up, I gently wedged open the door with rubber portion of my key, enough to get hold of door edge w my fingers. Said a few Swedish curse words, and gave it one firm yank....
Pop! She opened. The plastic backing on the (already failed) lock housing cracked, allowing the offending latch pin to go flying, thereby unlocking the door. I ordered a new lock assy, $35 IIRC. A new door w lock cost $120 +/-, oohttp://wwww.
