## Discrepancy

NOSE BAGGAGE DOOR LATCH CLOSES DOOR, BUT LATCH PIVOT IS WORN ELONGATED.  REPLACED LATCH WITH SERVICEABLE LATCH. THE LATCH APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN ON THE AIRCRAFT QUITE A WHILE SO THIS WEAR MAY HAVE BEEN NORMAL.  INSPECTION OF OTHER LATCHES REVEALED NOTHING ABNORMAL.  PROPER LUBRICATION OF LATCHES WAS DISCUSSED WITH MAINTENANCE.
