## Discrepancy

DURING WALKAROUND FOUND DOOR L1 NOT ABLE TO OPERATE  FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE.  ABLE TO OPEN THE L1 DOOR BUT EXTERIOR HANDLE  BUTTERFLY STICKY AND HARD TO MOVE. TRIED TO CLEAN  AND LUBRICATE FROM EXTERIOR BUT NO HELP, AS PER AMM  52-11-13-2 NEED TO CHECK FOR LUBRICATION OR BROKEN  MECANISM FROM THE INSIDE.      REMOVED SIDEWALL LINERS AND INTERIOR HANDLE,  INSPECTED MECHANISM FOR WORN OR BROKEN PARTS IAW  AMM 52-11-13-2, FOUND MECHANISM OK, LUBRICATED  MECHANISM FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, OPEN AND CLOSED  DOORS MANY TIMES, HANDLE WORKS NORMALLY.
