Mine were like this so i oiled up the actual door lock mechanisms on the side of the door as you open it. Now they open like a rolls royce!!  :wink:

there's a guide on here showing how to replace the lock unit in the handle.. on mine it pops out when you put the key in, there's basically a little spring that holds it in and makes it work which snaps easily, the guide is very good in the maintenance section, shows you how to open the door handle up and then you can check its all together and oil it :)
