Don't know how relevant this is to Bob's W123, but my 124s seem to be prone to misbehaving door latches, including several times the dreaded bounce. Fixing the latter always required cleaning and relubrication of the parts of the latch mechanism inside the door---lubing the few bits that are visible when the door is fully assembled did nothing. It's been a while since the last time, but I seem to recall that I removed the inner panel; angled the "straw" of a can of sprayable white lithium grease into the open space where the inner door handle fits into the rod for the latch mechanism, aiming towards the upper outer corner of the door; then sprayed liberally.
