How to install passenger door lock assembly?

This should be simple, but -- at least for me -- it's not.

I'm trying to install a new passenger front door lock assembly in a 1930 Briggs Town Sedan. Barrel of the assembly is too large to slide into hole in door skin. Assuming I can file the assembly barrel to make it a smaller diameter, how is the assembly secured in place once it's inside the hole?

Thanks.
 
Tom, here are pics of my 30 Briggs TS. Lock is original. Set screw comes in at a angle and Has a pointed tip that fits against a flat on the lock barrel. I did not have to file the door skin for the barrel to fit but did have to bore the new wood to install.
