A. Adjustment of the Cockpit Door - Clearance C around the Cockpit Door
(1) If necessary, use the FLASHLIGHT to do the adjustment of clearance C.
(2) Adjust lateral clearance C of the cockpit door (2) as follows:
(a) Use the GAGE - SET, FEELER to measure clearance C between the cockpit door (2) and the lavatory wall (1) at the upper latch mechanism.
(b) Make sure that clearance C is between 9.00 mm (0.3543 in.) and 10.00 mm (0.3937 in.).
(c) If clearance C is not in the limits, adjust it as follows:
1 Loosen the adjustment screws (7) and (8) of the upper hinge (6).
.
4 TORQUE the adjustment screw (8) of the upper hinge (6) to between 22 and 18 m.N (16.22 and 13.27 lbf.ft ).
Subtask 52-51-00-865-157-A (1) If necessary, use the FLASHLIGHT to do the adjustment of clearance C.
(2) Adjust lateral clearance C of the cockpit door (2) as follows:
(a) Use the GAGE - SET, FEELER to measure clearance C between the cockpit door (2) and the lavatory wall (1) at the upper latch mechanism.
(b) Make sure that clearance C is between 9.00 mm (0.3543 in.) and 10.00 mm (0.3937 in.).
(c) If clearance C is not in the limits, adjust it as follows:
1 Loosen the adjustment screws (7) and (8) of the upper hinge (6).
NOTE: This will let the notch of the upper hinge body move to the groove of the upper hinge clamp-plate.
2 Move the cockpit door (2) until lateral clearance C is correct. NOTE: The cockpit door (3) weighs approximately 35 kg (77.1618 lb).
3 TORQUE the adjustment screw (7) of the upper hinge (6) to between 16.5 and 13.5 m.N (146.02 and 119.47 lbf.in ) . 4 TORQUE the adjustment screw (8) of the upper hinge (6) to between 22 and 18 m.N (16.22 and 13.27 lbf.ft )
. B. Remove the safety clip(s) and the tag(s) and close this(these) circuit breaker(s):

C. Operational Test of the Cockpit Door and the Latch Mechanism
(1) Do an operational test of the cockpit door (2) and the latch mechanism (Ref. AMM TASK 52-51-00-710-002).
(2) If the results of the test are unsatisfactory or you cannot adjust clearance C as in step 4.A:
(a) Do the adjustment procedure of the cockpit door (2), the electrical release strikes and the latch mechanisms (Ref. AMM TASK 52-51-00-820-001).
5. Close-up(1) Do an operational test of the cockpit door (2) and the latch mechanism (Ref. AMM TASK 52-51-00-710-002).
