## Discrepancy

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN EMERGENCY EXIT FOR INSPECTION,  FOUND HATCH TO BE STUCK IN POSITION. VERIFIED LATCH IS OPERATING, WHICH IT WAS.  DOOR EVENTUALLY WAS FORCED OPEN USING 2 MEN PUSHING ON THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE ACFT.  INSPECTED EMERGENCY EXIT, DOOR SEAL, FRAME AND LATCH WITH NO DAMAGE FOUND. THE DOOR WAS FOUND TO BE STUCK IN PLACE DUE TO BEING PREVIOUSLY SEALED WITH LITTLE OR NO RELEASE AGENT APPLIED.  APPLIED RELEASE AGENT AND OPERATIONALLY CHECKED DOOR TO BE IN WORKING ORDER.
