## Discrepancy

FLIGHT DECK DOOR CONTACTS LAV DOOR FRAME WHEN ACFT IS PRESSURIZED. WORKS FINE ON GROUND.  REQUIRES FORCE TO OPEN IN FLIGHT. REMOVED 1 SHIM FROM TOP & BOTTOM HINGE IAW MCN 652629-001. REQUIRED CLEARANCE WERE PRESENT BETWEEN COCKPIT DOOR & LAV WALL. PRESSURIZED ACFT AMM 21-00-00-863-801 AND RECHECKED CLEARANCES STILL WITHIN LIMITS. OK FOR SERVICE.
