If you simply removed the lock during cleaning and did not disassemble it, the 'additional' degree of 'hard trigger' may be from over tightening the lock bolt (lock screw) when you reinstalled the lock & bolt.

Try loosening that lock mounting bolt then tighen it back up just so it's snug and stop...over tightening them can warp the side plate and cause things to bind.
