A little WD-40 in the latch mechanism can work wonders.

My trailer hitch has to be greased to slide over the ball (yes they are
the same size). Then it's a real B*%#ch to get the lock to lock. Could
this be due to the fact that the chrome on the ball is gone or could it
be that the trailer tongue lock is set too tight?
