The lock cylinder may not be installed properly. The cylinder has a square drive on the rear that must enter the square hole on the door latch mechanism. Suggest removing the lock cylinder to see if the drive is long enough. If you do remove the cylinder it can be very difficult to get it back in place without removing the interior door panel.
