Yeah, that's what I was referring to. There can be wear or bending in there. You might need to try and repair it somehow, or find a latch in better condition (most of the parts vendors have used stock you could start there). Mine doesn't open as much by the outside handle as the inside handle just as yours does, but it still opens enough to open the door.
