## Discrepancy

DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT MOVE PAST CENTER POSITION TOWARDS LOCK & SECURE  DOOR, EITHER FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE.  HAD TO USE MANUAL PRE-CATCH OVERRIDE BUTTON TO OPEN DOOR. TRIED ACTUATING HANDLE FROM INSIDE & OUTSIDE TO LOCK DOOR, DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. EXAMINED INTERNAL LINKAGE. AFTER EVALUATION, DETERMINED THE SPADE DOOR HOOK LINKAGE WAS  BROKEN. REMOVED BROKEN LINKAGE FROM DOOR. PERFORMED SEVERAL LOCKS & UNLOCKS SUCCESSFULLY WITH BROKEN LINKAGE REMOVED AND DOOR WORKS AS ITS SUPPOSED TO.   INSTALLED NEW SPADE DOOR HOOK LINK ASSY. REINSTALLED SPADE DOOR FWD & AFT LINK ASSY & SPADE DOOR HOOK ACCESS PANEL. PERFORMED FUNCTIONAL CHECKS OF DOOR. FUNCTION CHECKS GOOD, WORK IAW 52-10-05.
