## Discrepancy

R1 DOOR VERY DIFFICULT TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE.  THE UPPER BUTTERFLY HANDLE IS NOT COMING OUT.  IT WORKS ONLY WHEN PLAYING WITH THE LOWER HANDLE & ONLY WHEN PULLING VERY HARD ON THE UPPER  BUTTERFLY HANDLE.  REMOVED AND INSTALLED R1 EXTERIOR  HANDLE MECHAMISM IAW MM 52-11-13-2. OP CHECKED OK.
