When I got my truck, the doors were sagging badly and the driver's door had been used so much that the safety catch and the ramp were worn really badly. The passenger latch was also worn but not as badly. So when I disassembled the doors, I decided to use weld to repair the safety catches and ramp. I used some copper strips (old pipe) to isolate where I was welding to keep from fusing welding the catch to the latch. Here's a few pics - first of building up weld on the ramp.
