first off try wd40 on the hinges and the latch where the door locks
when you open it does it sag at all? the hinges may need to be re adjusted, if they are sagging it will make the door hard to open.

I suggest yo do check that as soon as possible. Same thing happened to me I let it go for months and now my driver side door wont open. The lock seems to engage and disengage but when I pull the door handles, either, inside or out the door just wont open. Next I'll try to open it with a slim jim has this happened to anybody?
