Latch loose when locked closed, not when locked open?

Hi there, as some of you may know, I managed to pick up a halfway decent balisong despite living in a country that thinks they're the devil incarnate or something.
Now, as it's still just a CCC and I should have probably expected something like this soon-ish.
My problem is this, the latch on my knife is quite loose (not like, free swinging or anything, just loose) when my knife locks closed. The latch still actually locks, but it comes out again a bit too easily for my liking.
The strange thing is that when I lock the knife open, it still locks up as firm and tight as the day I assembled the knife, so, what's causing this? and is there a way to rememdy it? I don't think it's the latch itself, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the tang-pins or handle, so whats going on here?
