Use short screws or only insert a small way. If the screw goes in too far, there is a possibility that the spring and pin combination willl be too long to lift to the shear line.

I made a practice lock with grub screws, but only tapped the bible with 2 or 3 threads. The bitting wasn't severe, so in this case the pins weren't impeded.
