    May take a few attempts but try locking it and shutting it at the same time.

    If your lucky it may catch and lock at the sa,e time.

    If not it will need to be checked to see if its the catch/motor or controller.

    Sounds like the locking mechanism, ours went not long ago. It was and easy fix at our local garage, about £50 I think.
