There are two settings for door unlocking.

A. Single click opens all doors
B. 1st click opens drivers door only 2nd click opens remaining doors.

If your car is set up for all doors to open on 1st click and some only open on 2nd then it is sign of the unlock motor failing within the lock, similarly if it is set up to open drivers door on first and it takes 2 clicks to open drivers door and 3 to open the rest no amount of greasing will solve the problem for long.
Whilst these motors can be stripped and cleaned or the brushes replaced ( they are the same motor as used in vis motors) actually getting into the lock mechanism is the worst job ever and whilst i have successfully achieved this on one out of four attempts it is not something i would ever advise or try myself again unless absolutely no other option was available.
Only practical solution is to replace the door lock mechanism
