You need to Adjust the latch Plate on the Frame &/or door or Replace the Entire Mechanism w/ a New Set, fore it could be worn out.

About 20+ years ago I drove a 1960 F-100 big window. Every morning as I pulled up to the 4 way stop both doors would come open. I got to where I wouldn't do the door dance to shut them, I would just come off the clutch a little hard and they would both slam shut and I was good to go.
I almost lost a buddy out of that same truck on a hard left turn when the passenger door decided to pop open.

Aaah, it was a great truck!!
