sfb,

At first, there are two things to check: the latch mounted to the door and
the latch striker pin mounted to the door surround.  Either one or both are
loose or have shifted out of adjustment.  If the striker has moved (likely
because of all that door slamming you have been doing), it is readily seen by
the outline remaining from its former location.  So, after snugging up the
latch fasteners, make certain the striker is residing where it was originally
before any attempted adjustment.
