PURPOSE:To reduce the manufacturing cost by eliminating an end material processing of a handle and a handle mounting hole, mounting work of the handle, and gap control between the handle and a door outer plate by integrally forming the so-called handle, a substantially recessed groove with the door outer plate. CONSTITUTION:A substantially U-shaped groove part 6 integrally formed with a door outer plate 2 is provided on the side surface of the door outer plate 2 drawn into a box shape or folded. The groove part 6a is integrally formed with a slanting part 6a and a door outside plate 2 so as to be located in a foam heat insulating material 5, i.e., inside the door outer plate 2 such that a slanting part 6a which a finger is touched upon a door body being opened and closed and a finger accommodation part 6b when the finger is touched on the slanting part 6a does not protrude from the side surface 2b of the door outer plate 2. Hereby, any additional protruding portion on a door outer plate surface is eliminated and hence a handled door with more flat feeling is assured. Thus, there are eliminated an end material processing of a handle mounting notched hole, handle mounting work, and gap control between the handle and the outer plate.
