I suppose the initial question refers to Airbus doors so some of you guys have gone off in a different tangent & confused the matter when talking about different aircraft types like Boeing & so on.
Some of you are right & some of you are wrong in regards to your posted information in regards to this matter.
As we were all trained in our apprenticeship days never go by your memory, never assume anything & always refer to the manual.
It would be best to refer back to all Airbus aircraft type manuals for the correct answer to this question & in doing so the correct information can then be posted here for all of us to learn.
Door slides can be very dangerous & you dont want to be posting incorrect info hear that someone may go off with & possibly kill or injure themselves or somone else.
Not wanting to be a party pooper.
Chock Chucker.
