Cylinder loose doorknob lock. Why?

When I bought my new house, I changed my lock cylinders. I Schlage locks on my door, and went to Home Depot and buy other Schlage locks and ends changing the cylinder on my door. I did not want to change the locks because it is an entire condominium complex and locks that look uniform and could not find the same locks anywhere, so why change just cylinders. I drove the old cylinders and just made a day after the cylinder is loose. When you put the key in the cylinder slides into and out about 1 / 8 ". I could swear that the old and new cylinders were identical and were of the same brand." Any idea? Do you think I lost an important piece? I think the old cylinder was 6-pin and new pin is 5, which could be the problem?

the 6-cylinder is much longer than the 5. you should have gotten the 6 pin. If you just change the combo on the cylinder can take only the cylinder block to a shop for a lower cost.
