The lock itself is to blame when they stick or fail this is what can happen.

 

When its in the process of locking and unlocking check each lock in turn to identify the one thats not working.

 

Correctly working ones will move the lock inside the door handles. If they both move in both directions then wk40 on the lock folowed by white grease may sort it.

 

And remember this is the catch plate lock. The key lock can cause a similar problem but it will stop if you lock the car using the passenger door key lock if you have been using the drivers one and getting the problem
