## Discrepancy

DOOR 4L WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE DOOR.  FOUND GIRT BAR FITTING BROKEN.  CAUSE DETERMINED TO BE THE THRESHOLD GIRT FLOOR FITTING OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, RESULTING IN A PRELOAD ON THE GIRT BAR AND THE GIRT BAR FITTING WHEN THE DOOR WAS CYCLED THROUGH ARM/DISARM.  THE GIRT BAR FITTING WAS REPLACED.  THE SAME FITTING CRACKED 6 DAYS EARLIER, BUT THE THRESHOLD GIRT FLOOR FITTING RIG WAS EVIDENTLY NOT CORRECT (SEE 2004UALA00234).
