Narrative:

During takeoff on 35L at den a master caution/door warning light illuminated while at approximately 132 KTS. We noted that it was the forward entry door and the captain elected to abort. The abort was made at 135 KTS which was 5 KTS below V1. When the throttle went to idle rejected takeoff was engaged and braking commenced immediately. Since we still had about 5000' of runway remaining, the brakes were disengaged and the use of moderate braking and idle reverse were used. I proceeded to call the tower and notify them of the abort and we rolled out slowly to the end of the runway. We notified the passenger as to the situation and proceeded to taxi back to the gate since the speed, aircraft weight, temperature and altitude required the wheels and the tires to be checked. We had the tower check for smoke which was confirmed as being nonexistent. This was confirmed by other aircraft as well. There was no aircraft damage nor were there injuries of any sort. All checklists and procedures were complied with.

Narrative: DURING TKOF ON 35L AT DEN A MASTER CAUTION/DOOR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE AT APPROX 132 KTS. WE NOTED THAT IT WAS THE FORWARD ENTRY DOOR AND THE CAPT ELECTED TO ABORT. THE ABORT WAS MADE AT 135 KTS WHICH WAS 5 KTS BELOW V1. WHEN THE THROTTLE WENT TO IDLE RTO WAS ENGAGED AND BRAKING COMMENCED IMMEDIATELY. SINCE WE STILL HAD ABOUT 5000' OF RWY REMAINING, THE BRAKES WERE DISENGAGED AND THE USE OF MODERATE BRAKING AND IDLE REVERSE WERE USED. I PROCEEDED TO CALL THE TWR AND NOTIFY THEM OF THE ABORT AND WE ROLLED OUT SLOWLY TO THE END OF THE RWY. WE NOTIFIED THE PAX AS TO THE SITUATION AND PROCEEDED TO TAXI BACK TO THE GATE SINCE THE SPD, ACFT WEIGHT, TEMP AND ALT REQUIRED THE WHEELS AND THE TIRES TO BE CHKED. WE HAD THE TWR CHK FOR SMOKE WHICH WAS CONFIRMED AS BEING NONEXISTENT. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY OTHER ACFT AS WELL. THERE WAS NO ACFT DAMAGE NOR WERE THERE INJURIES OF ANY SORT. ALL CHKLISTS AND PROCS WERE COMPLIED WITH.
