Doors won’t lock

Hey guys,
My doors appear to lock with the key from the outside, but when I go to open the door, the lock pops up and the door opens. I read another post stating maybe it is the latch?
I’ve sprayed a bunch of wd-40 in there with no luck. I’ve also locked the doors from the inside, gone around and opened the truck without the key.
You all have helped me get her running and I hope to be able to do some short trips around town soon.
Thanks in advance

our trucks only lock from the outside with the key. They won't lock any other way.

I have to push in on my doors to get them to lock all the way. Mine need a slight adjustment.

As stated above try pushing in on the door while you are turning the key.

Pushing the door in worked. This worked for the drivers side which has a newer door seal, but not for the passenger’s side door that is a little more sunken in without a new door seal.

There is a link in my signature line explaining why your door wont latch unless pushed in....worn out latch is the problem. The write up offers a solution too....
