I had this same problem. It will only get worse with time. You will need to replace the latch assembly. (The part that catches the striker bolt)Answer:There is a simple fix. I used it to repair my Sport just 2 weeks ago.There is a broken spring on the door lock. You will need to go the hardware store and buy a spring that has long ends. This repair can be made for less than $3.00.Remove the door panel and locate the door lock cylinder just below the lock you will locate a rod with a yellow plastic fitting. Take one end of the spring an connect it to the rod then connect the other end of the spring to the clip that hold the lock in the door. ( this will give the needed lift to allow the lock to operate) Note that if the spring is to tight it will prevent the lock from working, readjust the spring and try again.I have a pic that will help. If you need it I can email it to you.

How do you change the door lock on a 1998 Toyota 4runner?
It is fairly straight forward. You must take off the inside panel of the door to access the inside of the door. A metal spring/clip holds the lock inside its slot. You can take this spring off easier after removing the bolts that hold the door handle to the door. Once the door handle can be freed from the the outside of the door, you can access the clip much easier from the outside. Once the lock is unclipped, you must remove the lever that is attached to the lock. BE CAREFUL not to break the plastic clip that holds the lever if you wish to use the same lock in the door. The clip can be removed by prying the teeth of the clip from the lever with your finger. At this point, the lock can be removed completely. To replace, the opposite must be done.

How do you change a door lock on 106?
I assume you are referring to the lock barrel... Remove the inside trim panel from the door Reach inside the door and find the back of the door lock barrel, you will feel a metal clip on the opposite side of the barrel to the edge of the door (ie. on the windscreen side of the lock). Simply pull the clip towards the windscreen until it comes off (you will have to pull fairly hard), then you can withdraw the lock from the outside of the car. To put it back, slip the lock back through the door from outside, then slide the spring clip back to hold the barrel in place.
