## Discrepancy

MAIN DOOR: WHILE SECURING THE MAIN CABIN DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, CAN FEEL A GRINDING OF THE LOCKING HARDWARE/ PINS THROUGH THE HANDLE. DOOR IS DIFFICULT TO SECURE. EVEN MORE SO, WHEN TRYING TO LIFT THE INDOOR RED RELEASE HANDLE UP, CAN FEEL THE MOST GRINDING AND RESISTANCE TAKING A COUPLE OF LIFTS TO GET IT OVER CENTER AND OPEN. // SIGNOFF // VERIFIED OPERATION ANO FOUND DOOR SEALS TIGHT BECAUSE THEY ARE NEW AND REQUIRE A BIT MORE FORCE TO PUSH DOOR SHUT OTHERWISE PINS DRAG, WE HAD NO PROBLEMS SHUTTING DOOR AND OPERATION WAS SMOOTH AND NO GRINDING NOISE NOTED IAW EMBS05 AMM 52•00-00.
