German term or phrase: nicht verspannt einbauen
I'm finding it hard to come up with a good way to translate this. It refers to installation of lock and door fitting parts where the lock fails to work properly if parts are twisted/deformed. Some instances in the text:

Schlossschienen nicht verspannen, verspannt einbauen oder durchbiegen.

Profilzylinder keinesfalls verspannt einbauen

Verspannter Einbau des Vierkants oder der Langschilde können Fehlfunktionen hervorrufen
