I installed the 82-086 yesterday. I tried to lock it with the key & I can barely turn the key. It's so tight trying to turn it. I'm worried I'll break the key off in the lock. How do I fix this?

Hi there. A few things come to mind. I recommend you check to see if the key cylinder tail could be too long and might need to be trimmed a little. Also, see if the hole in the door for the key cylinder is wide enough. You might need to open up the hole so the tail has room to turn. Lastly, make sure the internal mortise lock is in good working order. Take a look at the related video on how to install a Key lock along with the other related videos on patio door locks.
