During my PDI last week we had this problem. One of the tech's made it worse with his adjustment (he was a JR). The senior tech and salesman both knew what needed to be done, which was loosen the Bolt (or whatever you call the round thing coming out of the frame, and slide it back a bit towards the coach and then retighten. They said if it's too far out, that it gets deep into the latch mechanism and jams a bit. We were having to hit the door with our shoulder to go out.

Now, it opens with no effort at all. They did warn that if you loosen that round bolt too much that the nut behind it in the frame will drop come loose and drop to the bottom of the frame, so you want to loosen it only enough to allow it to slide a bit, and then retighten.

Also, after he tightened it with a large allen key, the then grabbed a long handled pipe wrench to further snug it so it didn't work it's way loose.
