## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 4291 THE CREW REPORTED THE MAIN CABIN DOOR WAS HARD TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE MAIN CABIN DOOR HANDLE COVER PER STANDARD MTX PROCEDURES.  THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD PER EMB-145 MM 52-18-00.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
