## Discrepancy

DOOR 1L DIFFICULT TO CLOSE.  DOOR L/E IS .75 TO 1 INCH FROM FAIRED WHILE DOOR T/E IS FLUSH WITH FUSELAGE.  PULLING ON DOOR HANDLE FROM INSIDE DID NOT HELP, COULD NOT LOCK DOOR.  DOOR WILL CLOSE SOMETIMES BUT NOT AFTER OPENING ALL THE WAY.  DOOR PIVOT POINTS AND LINKAGE AT CENTER OF DOOR APPEARS TO HAVE SLOP IN LINKAGE. REPLACED DAMPNER, EMERGENCY OPS CYLINDER IAW MM ON DOOR 1L.  OPS CHECKED GOOD.
