Help! My Front Door Won't Shut Properly

I'm having a major issue with my front door. It seems to shut, but only when I lock it. Apart from that, it stays slightly ajar, which is super annoying since it's letting in heat and moths. I'm really frustrated and need advice on how to fix it. I can provide photos or videos of the door if that would help!

It sounds like there might be some mechanical issues with your door. Can you clarify what you mean by it not shutting? Is it not closing completely or not latching? There could be a problem with the locking mechanism or the hinges being misaligned. Checking out some YouTube tutorials on door repairs might help you diagnose the issue!

HomeFixer007: I thought you were talking about a car door! Just to clarify, OP is asking about a house door.
