I had new Gate House interior lever door handles for bedrooms. Worked great.
I changed them out for the same brand and style only with lock. Now the latch
doesn't fully retract keeping you from being able to get in/out. Is there a
quick fix? Why would that happen. I have 3 and all have the exact same
problem.

These sort of handles usually have a stop in each handle. If you've used
the old fixing holes it is likely reaching the stop before the latch has
retracted fully.

Remove the fixing screws and turn the handle so the latch is fully
retracted. Mark new screw holes with a pencil, drill pilot holes and fix.
Do the same both sides.
