Front cargo door won't lock

My front cargo door won't latch. Not the slam door but the door under hitch pin. Anyone else have this issue and what was your fix?

Mine is very tight. I have to push in at the lock to allow the key to turn.
You may also be able to bend the latch.

Peace

I had the same problem when I got my BH. The offset in the lock/latch was too short. I had to push in really hard to lock it. Then it still popped open while driving.
When I took it in for some other service, the dealer fixed it,
However, if you are not in a warranty situation, the locks are available at Home Depot with different offsets for various door thickness. Trace

Bill and Lorna:
I don't know what model trailer you have (that is helpful when helping troubleshoot things), but on my storage compartments there is a raised lip that the arm from the door compartment lock mates with. If this lip gets bent from cargo coming in/out the lock won't work correctly.
