the door popper will pop the latch to, so you cant just stick something down the side of the door. it aint the best option, but its a good option, and safe ish.
door popper kits are easilty available for about 90-150

what i personally would have done is after it was welded would be to fibreglass matt the whole thing and about 5cm each side of the welded plate. then sand that down and fill over the top, this is how a very well known and highly recommended bodyshop do it.

i got quoted £250 for both doors from Spraynique in Stoke on Trent. that included the fitting of door popping kits and them wiring to the alarm to pop drivers door wen alarm is deactivated. Stubsy had his done there, from the pics it looks like a top job. check his garage for pics
