I have a problem with the new key / lock parts on each door. I can't close the door : when i turn to close with the key it operate the lever with its spring down as it does... but when i take off the key from the door, the door is no more closed because it makes the spring lever up and disclose the lock ...
Am i missing some part of the lock ?
1 : key
2 casing for the lock + new lock
3 washer with two internal tabs
4"piston" wich must turn on itself in some location when i turn the key
5 spring
6 case holding the operating lever
7 operating lever
8 adjustable screw with its bolt
I think i must have a problem with the part 4 which seeems to be disconnected sometimes when i turn the key .
May be this part is worned at its end.
PS: What is the use of the little round hole in the part 7 ( location of a kind of pin ?)
Any advice is welcome

In my experience of these locks the problem is usually with the adjustable linkage. It is the next step in the chain and has three possible adjustment points.
