## Discrepancy

CAPTAIN REPORTED THAT DURING CRUISE, A STRONG NOISE IN THE FWD ENTRY DOOR WAS LISTENED; AT THE GATE THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT DETECTED THAT THE HINGE OF THE DOOR WAS FALL DOWN. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL PERFORMED A REVISION TO FWD ENTRY DOOR IAW SRM 52-10-00, DETECTING THE LOWER FITTING HINGE COVER DAMAGED; SO THE LOWER FITTING HINGE COVER WAS REPLACED IAW AMM 52-11-31 AND THE FWD ENTRY DOOR WAS ADJUSTED IAW AMM 52-11-00, TESTED CORRECT.
