Problem with locking pin

Agreed. The lever has play in it and if not perfectly lined up with the far side of the frame, it will not slide home. The spring is not really that strong and has David pointed out. Securing the frame in a padded vice allows you to concentrate all attention on aligning and pressing in the lever.
