Abstract
A refrigerator door is formed of a unitary sheet of pre-painted metal. The door has a front wall with top, bottom and side walls projecting from its edges. The top and bottom walls have indented portions adjacent each of their ends. The ends of the side walls have inwardly projecting tabs which overlap the indented portions of the top and bottom walls. The tabs and indented portions are secured together by mechanical interlocks, such as toggle locks.
