ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator door for use in a refrigerator appliance has an outer door panel, an inner door liner, a metal reinforcing collar and a paper sheet. The collar has a generally rectangular frame that extends over a peripheral border of a central portion of the door liner. The collar also includes sidewall flanges which extend rearwardly from the frame around a corner at the peripheral border of the central liner portion and over an inner wall of a dyke sidewall of the liner. The collar provides localized support for shelves carried by the door liner and improves door rigidity. The sheet of paper extends across an opening in the middle of the frame of the collar to further improve door rigidity.
