Why does shaking the outside lever unlock my AL70?

If AL70 is not timed properly, it is possible to shake the outside lever and unlock the lock.  

To test whether the AL70 is timed correctly, insert the key into the outside cylinder.  You should be able to get 360 degrees of rotation to lock or unlock the lever.  If you can only get 180 degrees of rotation, then the lock is not timed properly.  

To time the AL70, follow this procedure:
  1. Fully install the lock
  2. Remove the outside lever and cylinder
  3. Insert screwdriver into the chassis and rotate counter-clockwise until it stops.  
  4. Rotate 90 degrees clockwise - just until slot is vertical in chassis.  
  5. Reinstall outside lever and cylinder.
  6. Test lock to see if it is timed correctly.
