The importance of cylinder alignment

I recently had a job where a client struggled with a door lock that wouldn’t turn. After checking the cylinder, I found it was misaligned, which was causing all the issues. This made me wonder how often others encounter similar problems and how they troubleshoot them. Any tips on ensuring proper alignment would be great.
