B737 FLC HAD A MALFUNCTIONING ENTRY DOOR.

Narrative

AS THE HEAD FLT ATTENDANT WAS CLOSING THE F1 DOOR; SHE RPTED TO THE COCKPIT THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CLOSE. I ALSO FOUND THE DOOR DIFFICULT TO CLOSE; BUT IT WOULD CLOSE AND LOCK SECURELY. I ALSO FOUND A VERY SMALL PIECE OF METAL THAT SEEMED TO BE OUT OF PLACE ON THE SIDE OF THE DOOR AND RPTED TO THE CAPT THAT HE MIGHT WANT TO CALL MAINT TO REVIEW THE SIT. MAINT ARRIVED AND EXAMINED THE DOOR; REALIGNED THE SMALL PIECE OF METAL AND DETERMINED THAT THE DOOR WAS MOST LIKELY SLIGHTLY OUT OF RIG. THE 2 (#1 AND #2) MECHS ON THE JOB DETERMINED THAT A LITTLE DOOR LUBRICATION MIGHT HELP THE SIT AND HELP SPEED UP OUR ALREADY LATE DEP. THE LUBE WAS APPLIED AND THE HEAD FLT ATTENDANT WAS ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR TO HER SATISFACTION AS THE CAPT WATCHED. THE TWO DETERMINED THAT THE ACFT DOOR WAS SAFE AND THAT WE WERE NOW READY TO DEPART. THE MECH WHO WORKED ON THE DOOR TOLD THE CAPT; MYSELF AND THE FLT ATTENDANT THAT HE WOULD IMMEDIATELY DOCUMENT THIS IN THE MAINT LOGS ON THE MAINT COMPUTER AND THAT WHEN WE RETURNED FROM RNO; THE MAINT STAFF WOULD FURTHER INVESTIGATE. UPON RETURNING TO SLC; 4 MAINT MECHS MET THE ACFT AND FIXED THE PROB JUST AS THE MECH HAD SAID AS WE WERE LEAVING SLC.
