If you go to adjust or replace the pin, you need to loosen it with a 17 mm wrench. This is tricky, because the flats on the hex portion are pretty thin, and it's easy to bung it up. Find a GOOD 6 point wrench, hold it flat on the bolt, and avoid slipping off. I'd lube it up with some penetrating oil first.
I'd try adjusting the pin first. Mark it's location, and then loosen it and move it slightly. Retighten and try the door. If the door hangs up, PUSH on the door while pulling the latch to unload the latch. I find pushing on the top of the door frame helps a lot with this.
I've have very poor luck in getting those pins loose, so unless it loosens up right away, I'd try and find another solution.
