Lock sits too low

I'm trying to change my locks and the deadbolt is about 1/8" too low to go in the slot. It previously worked (I think the last deadbolt had a slightly smaller barrel which allowed it to sit higher). I'd just make the slot bigger but it's plastic. Any ideas? submitted by /u/grobe14 [link] [comments]
