Help with my handle set

I have installed the 82-086 handle set and am having a problem. If I tighten the mounting screws tight the mechanism is very hard to operate and the keyed side is unusable. If I back the screws off a bit I can get it to work ok but the handle is now a bit lose. Is there something I can do? will it get better with use? What do you suggest. I had to drill holes thrugh the door to mount the handle as the holes inthe handle did not match the holes in the door. Any suggestions.

It sounds to me like you need to cut a little more off of the key cylinder tail. You don't want to cut off too much, so try trimming just a little and trying the key out each time.
