Default Failing door latch

Just as the headline of this thread says. My driver side door latch seems to be failing, but only when i'm opening the car from the outside. Sometimes it will open on the first try and sometime i'd be wrestling with it for a while before it catches and then open. I'm thinking om opening the door panel to see what is the problem, but before i attempt that,, i'd wanna know if im looking at an easy fix or a "head scratcher"
