## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 2751 THE CREW REPORTED THE LAV EMERGENCY FIRE BOTTLE DOOR WON’T OPEN.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  CLEANED/LUBED (REMOVED FOD) ON LATCHES FOR LAV EMERGENCY FIRE BOTTLE DOOR.  OPENED & CLOSED MULTIPLE TIMES AS REQUIRED.  THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
