Abstract
This disclosure provides a door check of a hinged door including a door side component and a body side component. A check link arm is included in one of the door side component and the body side component and penetrates a housing, where the housing is included in the other of the door side component and the body side component. A stress generating structure generates elastic stress in a door opening direction at a fully closed state of the door and applies the stress directly onto the check link arm. The stress generating structure is configured to partially open the door by the stress when a latch, which maintains the door in the closed state, is released.
