## Discrepancy

MAIN DOOR: DURING CLOSURE OF CABIN DOOR FROM THE INSIDE THE HANDLE IS TOUGH TO GET TO RETURN TO CENTER, THEN BECOMES EXCESSIVILY LOOSE CAUSING AN OVERSHOOT OF THE CENTER POSITION. HANDLE NORMALLY HAS A SELF CENTERING FEEL, THIS ONE DOES NOT.   LUBRICATED THE MAIN DOOR INSIDE HANDLE AND CLEANED EXCESS GREASE AND DIRT OFF OF THE LOCK PINS IAW  AMM 52-10-00 & SPM 20-40-10. OPERATIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL TESTS GOOD.
