regarding loading on this and the door loop …

Specification:
Material: light weight aluminum alloy, strong structure
Size: Approx 5.9*3.9*3.9 inch
Max load:510 pounds
Note:
1.Under industrial regulation, the slam door latch must withstand force of 2500 pounds at least, please be free of worry about damage on the latch while you step on the car pedal.
2.Before use, please put on the adhesive around the edge of doorstep so as to avoid scratching painting on your car
So … even 100+Kg should be ok.

I stand corrected
Though I do remember watching an elderly relative using the hand grip version of that to aid getting in and out of their old micra a few years ago and I could see the B pillar flexing as he pulled himself out of the seat.
I’ve looked at these in the past, but one of my worries would be any potential damage done to the door if someone tried to close it whilst it was in place.As you slide down the banister of life
may no splinters point your way
