If your new handle set is Kwikset or Schlage, then the plunger can be installed for either a 2 3/8 or one that is 2 3/4, so most likely you've got the part that goes from one side to the other in the wrong one. Take the two screws out of the knob, push the plunger to the outside of the door and put the rod through the outer of the two holes. Some of them require you to remove the plunger and manually change it, so just remove the two screws on the side of the door, take the plunger out, and change the setting to 2 3/4. Replace everything and you should be good to go. It's probably in the fine print in the instructions, possibly in French. If your door was manufactured in the past 30 years or so, it should have been drilled to one of those two standards and you've probably got it set on the shorter one, so take it out, readjust, and reinstall. I doubt you've got any other issues as all the screws should have gone back in the same holes, especially if you replaced the lock with the same brand. Do the keys have the same head shape? Then it's the same manufacturer and everything should line up so the only thing that could cause your problem is that you've got it in the 2 3/8 backset position rather than 2 3/4. Common mistake and an easy fix. You've probably got more important things to worry about and wish they were all this easy to solve, right?
Is this a heat detector or a carbon monoxide alarm? Is your oven gas? If so it could be the CO produced by your oven during start up. Gas ovens ore notorious for this.
