Hmmmm... now you've got me worried. Just to check, do you have
expertise re van doors? I don't, hence my worry. I wouldn't have
thought that approx 50 pounds at the mid-point of the door frame would
be too much for the door-to-frame connection to withstand. However, I
haven't a clue. Does anyone else out there have any opinions?

Cheers,

Only a few damaged car doors. Not by boats, but by kids. The doors
did stay on as long as they were kept locked closed and tied to the
frames if necessary, but that mean exiting through the car window,
which could be undignified, especially in a skirt or dress.

To what kind of forces were these doors subjected?

Damfino. It was kids. They stutter and stammer and wobble when
questioned. They evade and say that they don't know or XXX did it.
In one case, the car was that way when the kid bought it.

All 3 on inexpensive American mid sized cars built in the 60s to 80s.
