    On spinets where access to the hammer flange screws is somewhat
difficult,and time constraint an issue, I will tighten just the flange
screws that are clicking  and sometimes notice the adjacent flange will then
click when it didnt before.
    It seems that the action rail (wood) will compress causing the next
flange to be loose.Then I'm late for the Starbucks cause I end up tightening
them all !
