Sorry but you are completely wrong here.

  That's possible, but saying it is so will need to come with an explanation of how I'm wrong and how your view matches the construction drawing that I linked because I think that drawing is kind of important, going on the assumption that it really shows the situation in the aircraft. Either there is some trick to the installation process that isn't readily apparent or some other detail that I'm missing.

    No, I won’t provide such an explanation or attempt to convince you any further. It’s not “my view” it’s just how it works. Plenty of videos and photos online demonstrating how the door works, you can easily go find them and convince yourself. Edit: I’m feeling charitable so here’s one, knock yourself out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maLBGFYl9_o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maLBGFYl9_o

    When the door plug is installed, the stop pads on the plug pass the stop pads on the plane and then the door is shifted vertically to align them, with the pads on the plug on the inside of the pads on the plane. Instead of arguing about it, maybe consider which way the pressure is pushing during various phases of operation and decide how you would design the thing if the highest forces push outward...

      > When the door plug is installed, the stop pads on the plug pass the stop pads on the plane and then the door is shifted vertically to align them, with the pads on the plug on the inside of the pads on the plane. Indeed, picture provided by another poster above shows that is exactly how it works. And I covered that eventuality in another comment: > It's possible the stops hook over the corresponding parts in the plug but that's not readily apparent from the drawing at all.
