Doesn’t feel like the door is sagging and everything is latching on the door swings properly it just feels like something in the handle when it pulls out isn’t catching the lock to unlock it or like I said unlatch it

No, you're okay...it's just that it sounds like the same type of symptom you'd get with a broken door lock pin...door somewhat difficult to open. When my door pin broke, l had to double push, sometimes triple push the door handle button to get my door to open smoothly. If pushed once, door wouldn't open unless l jerked it open...couple more button pushes and it opened smoothly. But, if your key is unlocking all doors...pin is okay.
Maybe pull door panel off and lube all internal rods and pivot points. Door panel comes off pretty easily.

There is an adjustment on the door handle rod. You can pull the door panel off, pop the retainer open, it will self adjust, pop it closed. If you are up for popping the door panel off I can post pictures of the retainer you need to open. You will not be be able to see what you are doing, you will need to do it by feel.

While inside the door panel, lube all the hinges, rollers and metal on metal/plastic areas. It helps during the cold winter weather.
