if the latch is worn out you may be hitting the secondary part but then the mechanism, being worn, is allowing it to move backwards so the door opens slightly. this would allow the door to appear like it isn't totally latched even if it is hitting the secondary. maybe something to check as well? just because you can feel 2 detents doesn't mean the latch isn't worn out.
