I discovered a problem with my door locks (both sides). Last year, I transferred the lock cores to the new repro handles. That required a bit of machining of the holes for the cylinders in the new handles, but in the end, the keys worked fine in both L and R handles.
But when I got done with my build, I found that the keys barely worked. I could lock the doors with the key with some effort. But I could only barely use the key to unlock the doors, with lots of effort and jiggling. Attached thumbnail(s)
