A fuselage door (2) for a pressurized aircraft fuselage (1) in which the hoop tension loads caused by cabin pressure are carried through the door rather than around the door. Stationary interlocking moldings (104) in the door (2) and fuselage door (32, 39) seat transfer loads through the door-fuselage intersection. The interlocking portions of the moldings (104) have a sloped engaging portion (6) having an angle (B) such that the inward directed force component of tension due to a pressure differential is less than the outward directed force from cabin pressure on the door.
