## Discrepancy

DOOR WILL CLOSE FROM THE INSIDE; HOWEVER, WHEN REOPENED A BINDING NOISE IS HEARD.  REMOVED DOOR LINER, REF MM 52-11-02-4 AND INSPECTED AREA FOR DAMAGE REF MM 52-11-01-6-0.  FOUND DOOR HANDLE CAM ASSY COVER MISSING, PHENOLIC SPACERS AND RUBBING CAM ALSO FOUND ESCAPE SLIDE COVER DISLODGED.  REINSTALLED SPACERS REF MM  52-11-13-2-0 AND CORRECTLY POSITIONED SLIDE COVER, OPS CHECK REF MM 52-11-00-2 DOOR OPERATES NORMAL.  REINSTALLED, REMOVED DOOR LINER.  FINAL CLOSED.
