GAINED ACCESS TO DOOR INTERIOR AND VERIFIED RIGGING WAS WITHIN LIMITATIONS. LUBRICATEDCLOSED POSITION. IF YOU PLAY WITH THE HANDLE, IT WILL CLOSE BUT LOCK PINS AND RECHECKED AS REQUIRED. NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED. DISCUSSED WITH MCC AND THEN BIND AGAIN AFTER A COUPLE MORE CYCLES OF THE HANDLE. GOT PERMISSION TO SIGN OFF. RETURNED AIRCRAFT TO ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION WHEN DONE.WORK DONE REFERENCING THE CE-680A AMM 52-10-04. OPS CHECK GOOD AT THIS TIME.
