Door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically.
If any of these components stops working when you have the door open the door won t lock.
I am not sure i understand the question but if i have a preference i would like for it to swing to the right as you face the machine.
If the door lock is defective the washer door will not latch properly.
So i do not know how the door swings on the washer that is there now.
Replace the washer door hinge.
