Make sure the latch is open so it can lock when you close the door.

The latch is open. I tried moving it back with a screwdriver while holding the door handle up, no luck. I looked at the other door and I pulled the latch back, it clicks and stays in place till you open the door handle. The other door latch will not click back and stay in that position.
