ABSTRACT:
A cargo door assembly for pivotally mounted side doors in a van-type vehicle is provided with an improved reinforcing beam. The beam extends vertically along the shut face of one door of the assembly and has structure at its top for mounting the door latch and a hook at its bottom unengageable with the vehicle body at its sill. The beam is wider at its bottom than at its top and presents a simply supported beam to the sidewall of the vehicle, enhancing its capacity to handle lateral loading, including impact loading.
