## Discrepancy

AFTER LANDING WITH PASSENGER THE MAIN ENTRY DOOR WOULDNT OPEN WITH THE RED HANDLE.  IT COMES OUT OF THE STOWED POSITION BUT CANNOT BE MOVED FURTHER TO OPEN IT.   WE HAD TO GRAB THE GREY HANDLE AND FORCIBLY SHAKE IT TO EVENTUALLY GET IT TO OPEN UP.  FOUND DAMAGED RUBBER DUST GUARD TO BE TANGLED IN DOOR LATCH MECHANISM. PERFORMED TEMPORARY REPAIR OF MED CLOSEOUT PANEL GASKET FOR FLY-ON IAW RFTS-117573 REV. 0 BY METHOD OF CLEANING AFFECTED AREA AND REMOVAL OF DAMAGED GASKET PORTION.  OPS AND CLEARANCE CHECKS OF THE MED GOOD.
