cable drum.
The latch mechanism is operated by an inside

Figure 1-11.) Once closed, the door is latched
from the inside by pushing the single-lever
handle downward. The internal T-handle is
then pulled out of its recess to stow the external
handle, which clicks audibly when stowed.
Verification that the external handle is stowed
can be made by checking that the internal,
single-lever handle cannot be pulled up. After
this check, the internal T-handle must be
