  • Door assembly for armored car

Upper and lower hinges are mounted to the door edge, but at least one of the hinges is also connected through the door edge to an armor panel within the door, rather than being connected to the panel only by the door panel or skin. Preferably a bolt is connected between the movable leaf of the upper hinge and a flange on the door armor panel, through the door edge, and a stop on the armor abuts the movable leaf of the lower hinge.
