Add in the global recession that struck in 2008 ish......

The doors primary structure is cast I believe. It's quite shocking that one should deform in such a way, having seen them on transport stands prior to fitment the term brick outhouse comes to mind..
If it's the door that has been id'd then this is a "good thing" as, has been stated, they apparently don't get used in normal operations [??] so wear and tear, for want of a better term can be discounted which throws it back at the manufacturer with less wriggle room.

If you go back to post #70 [assuming these are the subject aircraft] compare the top of the door frame in the two pictures

Whatever, this is a serious issue and it needs addressing pronto.
