Surprising how often that's the problem.
If it's not, the other cause is that a hinge (in this case, the lower one) has been bent, causing the gap on hinge side and rubbing on latch side.
I've seen this in commercial buildings where some fool has decided to block a fire door open by placing a book in the hinge. (And I knew who the fool was but never confronted her. Re-bent all the hinges when she left.)
