How to troubleshoot Ford Focus door not closing properly

The door on my Ford Focus is not closing properly, it always feels like it's stuck and needs to be slammed shut. Is there a simple fix for this issue or do I need to take it to a mechanic?

It could be a problem with the door latch or the striker plate. I would suggest trying some lubricant on the latch and striker plate first before taking it to a mechanic. That could solve the issue and save you some money.

I had the same issue with my Focus and it turned out to be a faulty door latch. I had to take it to a mechanic to get it fixed and it hasn't been a problem since. I would recommend getting it checked out if lubricant doesn't work.
