power door lock driver side

when i use my keyless entry, i usually have to hit it a couple of times for the driver side lock to unlock. it sort of eases up a little each time i hit the button, usually 2-3 times before i can get in. anyone else have this problem before i start ripping the door apart?
thanks

I had the drivers door lock assembly failure on my 1998. Was lucky to even get the door open. Had to replace the entire lock assembly, about $30. if I remember right. The replacement was a redesigned assembly. Parts guy indicated he saw many of them go out the door and to the shop.
