I would be inclined to say you need a Ford tech vs a locksmith. We need a better description of the problem. Can hear the lock struggling to lock. Do you push the button and then wait till it locks, or do you have to press the button multiple times?

I’m not an expert but I agree with LuvMyTJ that Ford should probably be your first port of call. If it is a general problem then you may well be able to get a third party involved but there is potential to do more damage if it is a technical issue which only Ford can help with.
