LAVATORY DOOR
When the lavatory door becomes jammed or hard to open, the
procedures that should followed by the cabin crew to open it from
outside the lavatory can be:
– Using the slide latch:
Under the LAVATORY placard, which is located on the lavatory
door just above the “OCCUPIED/VACANT” display, there is an
alternative mechanism to unlock the door in case of difficulty to
open it from inside the lavatory.
To unlock the door, the Flight Attendant must lift this placard and,
holding the placard lifted, slide the latch to the left position, until
the display inscription changes from “OCCUPIED” to “VACANT”
(see figure on the next page). Then, the door should be opened
normally.
This mechanism is the same for both Slide and Bi-fold doors.
