Easing the keys will often help. Any increase in extra weight required to push a key back into position will cause the action to not function at optimal level, and possibly not at all. Before you take corrective measures, figure out where the problem is. Work back from the key. Keyslip, front rail bushing, balance rail bushing, between the keys, any of the centers in the flanges of the whippen or hammer. I don't know if this is your job or not, but if it isn't, it may fall under the "don't try this at home" category. If you're a tech, or becoming one, look at it as an opportunity to hone your skills!
