## Discrepancy

MAIN ENTRANCE DOOR, HARD TO MOVE HANDLE TO  DOOR CLOSED, LOCK, AND ALSO HARD TO MOVE THE HANDLE TO OPEN DOOR. WITH DOOR OPEN THE HANDLE MOVES NICE AND EASILY LIKE IT SHOULD. BUT WITH DOOR CLOSED HANDLE IS VERY HARD TO MOVE. WE HAD TO PUT OUR BODY WEIGHT INTO IT TO MOVE HANDLE. VIDEO, INCLUDING. CORRECTIVE ACTION: PERFORMED OPS TEST OF CABIN ENTRY DOOR, FOUND DOOR HANDLE TO HAVE COMPARABLE RESISTANCE TO OTHER 560XL DOOR HANDLES. COULD NOT DUPLICATE REPORTED FAULT. DOOR REQD TO BE FULLY SEATED/CLOSED TO OPERATE HANDLE FUNCTION PROPERLY. PERFORMED GVI OF ALL DOOR HINGES AND HANDLE SWIVEL MECHANISM, FOUND NO MAJOR DISCREPANCIES. CLEANED DEBRIS AND LUBRICATED DOOR HINGES AND HANDLE. OPS TEST GOOD. (REF CE560XL AMM 52-10-00)
