What happens to the doors is that the linkage rod that runs from the latch to the inside handle gets "stretched" out over time. You need to remove the door panel, make sure nothing is broken. clean and lube the latch and look at how the latch mechanism works. Try pulling on the inside handle and the latch probably will not drop. While you are holding the inside handle at it's maximum extension, press the linkage rod (pushing it is like making it shorter) You will probably see that the latch will work. Just find a place to make a slight z-bend in the rod. It needs to be z-shaped because just one curve would change the movement direction of the rod. Hope you get the idea.
