The entry door consists of:

- a door box which contains the actuating mechanism,
- a stair box which is bolted on its inner surface. It gives access to the actuating mechanism when removed.
The stair box comprises:
- 5 integral steps,
- A sixth folding step which follows the door motion.
Note: the folding step, hinged on the fuselage, protects the door seal when the door is open. The pressure seal is depressed by door edges in the
door closed position.
- an emergency light located on the second step of the entry door. It is only used for emergency evacuation.
- a folding handrail which erects when the door opens.
- a balance and damper mechanism which comprises two springs and a damper.
- The springs balance the weight of the door.
- The damper minimizes the acceleration of the door during door opening / closing operations.
The latching system deploys six shoot bolts, which move together. The locking system operates three latchlocks.
The two systems are sequenced such that the latchlocks, all moving together, engage when the shootbolts are in the final latched position.
The upper latch door drive-shaft operates the vent door. It remains opened in order to show evidence of a failure in the latching and locking
operation. Two springs keep the mechanism against stops in both the open and closed positions.
In the event of any unlatched shoot bolts, vent door will not close. This prevents the aircraft to be pressurized to an unsafe level.
Attached to the latchlock pins, indication flags bearing the words "LOCKED" and "UNLKD" show through the four viewer ports the door status.
