Narrative:
Climbing out of ZZZ; we received a door emergency lh open master warning. We ran the appropriate QRH checklist. Pressurization was normal; but after talking with the flight attendants I determined that while they were familiar with the emb-190; they weren't fully confident about the exact marks referenced in the QRH. I had them bring a deadheading emb-190 captain into the conversation; and it was determined that neither of the green locked indication marks for the left -hand over wing exit door were visible. The visibility of these marks is a decision point in the QRH and the absence of the green indicators leads to a descent to 10;000 feet; a pressurization dump of the cabin; and a land at nearest suitable clause. As we had significant tailwinds on the flight; by the time we received word from the cabin that the marks were not visible and consulted dispatch; we were at our equal time point from ZZZ to ZZZ1 and it was decided to continue to ZZZ1. We advised ATC; descended to 10;000 feet and depressurized the cabin per the QRH. Subsequent approach and landing were uneventful.we kept the airplane for our next flight and were present during the lengthy maintenance process. It was determined that the door was out of rig and had to be significantly adjusted. The door was able to physically move in and out a small amount while locked in place.
