Mend Fiat 1953 Door Latch Repair

how can I fix my Fiat Punto door?

I have a fiat punto 1953 model. The drivers side door wont shut peroperly. It appears that the catch in the door will not close down on the receiver on the bodywork of the car. The door simply will not catch so I am unable to dive the car as the door will not shut so I cannot drive it.
Can I repair the latch or do I need to fit a new one in the door.

Try spraying plus gas or wd40 into the lock assembly and operating the latch in the door open and closed with a screw driver a few times. Hope it works!
