Abstract: An outer frame reinforcement is disposed on the door outer side of an inner panel-side sash portion of a door inner panel. The outer frame reinforcement includes a frame-side sash portion, a hinge reinforcement portion, and a lock reinforcement portion. Here, the upper end of the hinge reinforcement portion is joined to the front side lower end of the frame-side sash portion, and the upper end of the lock reinforcement portion is joined to the rear side lower end of the frame-side sash portion. Furthermore, the hinge reinforcement portion and the lock reinforcement portion are set thicker than the frame-side sash portion. Because of this, the outer frame reinforcement can be formed by making the reinforcement portions thick and joining the reinforcement portions to the frame-side sash portion. Because of this, it becomes unnecessary to increase the plate thickness of the entire outer frame reinforcement.
