## Discrepancy

AFTER LANDING IN DAL, WITH PASSENGERS ON BOARD,  UNABLE TO OPEN MAIN CABIN DOOR.  HANDLE WENT ABOUT 1/2 TRAVEL, & JAMMED. HANDLE WOULD NOT BUDGE, IN OR OUT.  WITH ASSISTANCE FROM GROUND PERSONNEL, WE WERE ABLE TO OPEN DOOR.   PERFORMED AN EVALUATION & FOUND NO PHYSICAL DEFECTS. WHEN FIRST OPENING DOOR, EXTERIOR HANDLE WORKS PROPERLY & DOOR FALLS ON ITS OWN.  WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE INTERNAL DOOR HANDLE FOUND HANDLE TO BE DIFFICULT TO MOVE.  CONFIRMED WITH THE DOOR BOTH FULLY SHUT &  DOOR OPEN ATTEMPTING THE HANDLE ALONE.  REMOVED COVER & EVALUATED. THERE WAS DEBRIS BUILD UP.  DUSTED AREA OUT &  HELPED SMOOTH OPS OF HANDLE. LUBRICATED HANDLE. FOR EXTRA PRECAUTION,   INSPECTED DOOR LATCH HOLES & LATCHED TO ENSURE NO UNUSUAL TRAVEL WHEN PINS ARE ATTEMPTING TO LATCH. CLEANED INTERNALS OF PIN HOLES & PINS.  LUBED AS REQUIRED.  CLEANED DOOR MED SEAL TO ENSURE NO STICKING. PERFORMED CHKS OF DOOR. AFTER STEPS OPS SMOOTH BOTH CLOSING & OPENING, INTERNALLY & EXTERNAL.  WORK PERFORMED IAW AMM 52-10-00.
