Having Problem With Driver's Door Staying Locked. Please Can Someone Help Me?

My 96' maxima has a problem where when I lock my car, all the other doors remain locked and secure but the driver's side door can be opened with a simple lift of the door handle. It seems like the lock works perfectly but even though I locked my car, I can just go to the driver's side, lift the handle of the door, and go inside the car like something isn't working properly so that the door will stay locked. Can it be the door lock actuator? someone please help me!
