## Discrepancy

WHILE CLIMBING OUT THE COCKPIT DOOR OPENED.  THE CREW TRIED TO SECURE THE DOOR CLOSED BUT A HINGE WAS BROKEN & LOOSE & THE DOOR WOULD NOT SECURE.  THE CREW ADVISED THE TRAVELING FAMS.  THE CREW ELECTED TO DIVERT FOR MX.  AN EMER WAS DECLARED & THE FLIGHT LANDED & TAXIED TO GATE WITHOUT INCIDENT.  R & R THE COCKPIT DOOR HINGES.
