the cylinder if necessary to ensure that the bolt is engaged with the cylinder preventing free rotation
of the cylinder (Figure 10).
NOTE: Depending on the position of the cylinder when first pushed into the frame, it is sometimes possible that
the bolt will not engage the cylinder to lock it. Check for proper bolt engagement by attempting to rotate the cylinder
clockwise by hand. If the bolt is engaged properly the cylinder will not rotate. If the cylinder rotates, rotate it until
the bolt engages the cylinder and prevents further rotation.
