## Discrepancy

UNABLE TO MOVE DOOR HANDLE TO LOCK DOOR. TRIED TO MOVE HANDLE WITH DOOR IN OPEN POSITION AND STILL UNABLE TO MOVE HANDLE TO EXTEND PINS.  RESET THE AFT BOTTOM LOCK PIN, AFTER PERFORMING OPS CHECKS THE DOOR HANDLE WAS STILL TOUGH AND BINDING SOMETIMES, CHECKED ALL THE DOOR PINS AND FOUND THEM FULL OF GUNK, CLEANED OFF THE PINS AND RE-INSTALLED STAIRS AND ACCESS PANELS. PERFORMED MULTIPLE OPS CHECKS OF THE DOOR HANDLE WITH THE DOOR OPEN WITH NO BINDING NOTED AND PERFORMED MULTIPLE CYCLES OF THE DOOR WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED. WORK DONE IN REF TO MODEL 680A AMM 52-10-04. THIS CLEARS THE AOG.
