Passenger seat belt locking

Is this a common problem? The front passenger seat belt locks when you try and pull it out to fit it. It doesn't do it all the time but goes through phases of being regular. It locks with the slightest of movement and is a pain to pull out enough to fit.



Any quick fixes short of buying a new one?
