## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED: THE FLIGHT DECK DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WITH HANDLE ON THE DOOR FROM INSIDE OF THE FLIGHT DECK, IT WILL ONLY OPEN WITH FLIGHT DECK DOOR SWITCH. MAINTENANCE FOUND A FAULT MESSAGE FOR THE BOTTOM STRIKER DUE TO PIN #6 BEING DAMAGED AND REPLACED IT PER AMM 52-51-12. A SATISFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH NO FAULTS NOTED.
