## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 4048 THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT REPORTED THE MAIN CABIN DOOR WAS VERY HARD TO OPEN.  NOTICED UPPER STOPS DRAGGING ON UPPER FUSELAGE STOPS WHEN OPENING & CLOSING DOOR.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  FOUND ROLLERS BINDING.  LUBED ROLLERS & SEALS IAW EMB-140 53-21-02 AMM AND 52-18-00 AMM, THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD.  NO PARTS REMOVED OR REPLACED.  NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED AT THIS CURRENT TIME.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
