hvac door #3

I hate to start another "blend" door thread, but I haven't seen exactly what I'm looking for yet. I read a ton of posts about a recirc. door, but I don't think that is my problem.
I'm not really getting a full flow of air from any position, especially the floor setting. I can get a little at defrost and a little more at dash level.
I pulled the glove box and fan. The fan is working just fine. I watched the recirc door move w/ the control knob on the hvac panel. I also watched the levers move w/ the temp control knob. So I know that these two are working properly.
I read about a third door that is behind the steel plate in the dash. Should I presume this is the one that's broken? What is this door called? Is there anyway to get to it/disable it w/out removing the entire dash, etc...?
I read and watched the vids at Heatertreater.
Thanks,
Ian
