on a day that it opens fine, try lubricating the latching mechanism, it could just be sticking

my other idea would be temperature dependent, is it only sticking when it is really cold outside???

Next time you can get it open, take off the plastics and it is probably corroded up whereas that is a common problem.

Clean, lubricate, replace, done.
