A door arrangement includes a door, first and second frame parts, a stop and a support both fixed at the first frame part, wherein the support is arranged below the stop in a vertical direction, a safety latch having a first end and an opposite free second end, wherein the safety latch is pivotally attached to the door and includes a hook part arranged at the second end. The second end is introducible between the stop and the support, and the hook part is arranged to interact with the stop. A lower side of the safety latch is arranged to interact with the support, and includes a transition point, arranged between the first and second ends, at which the lower side bends upwards towards the free second end.

A door arrangement comprising:
- a door,
- a first frame part,
- a second frame part, wherein the first and second frame parts extends in a vertical direction, wherein the first frame part faces an opening side of the door and the second frame part faces a hinge side of the door, wherein the door is hingedly connected to the second frame part, the door arrangement further comprising:
- a stop fixedly arranged at the first frame part,
- a support fixedly arranged at the first frame part, wherein the support is arranged below the stop in the vertical direction, at a first vertical distance from the stop, wherein an opening is defined between the stop and the support, wherein the first vertical distance in the vertical direction defines the height of the opening,
- a safety latch comprising a first end and an opposite free second end, wherein the safety latch is pivotal around a pivot point by that the first end is pivotally attached to the door, at the opening side of the door, at a vertical position in the vertical direction, which substantially corresponds with the vertical position of the opening,
- wherein the safety latch in its pivotal attachment to the door extends in a substantially horizontal direction, by that the safety latch is arranged to be limited in its pivotal movement around the pivot point, such that the free second end has a maximum movement in the vertical direction,
- wherein, referring to its pivotal attachment to the door, the safety latch comprises an upper side and an opposite lower side, wherein the safety latch comprises a hook part arranged at the free second end and which protrudes from the upper side in direction away from the lower side, wherein the safety latch is introducible in the opening, and wherein the hook part is arranged to interact with the stop,
- wherein the lower side of the safety latch is arranged to interact with the support, and which lower side comprises a transition point, arranged between the first end and the second end of the safety latch, at which transition point the lower side bends upwards towards the free second end.
