Narrative:
First officer was flying and aborted the takeoff when a mid-cargo door light came on at about 120-130 KTS. Rolled to end of runway (35R, den) and completed required checklists while taxiing back to hangar to get the brakes cooled. The first officer made a bad decision to abort the takeoff above 100 KTS for a door light coming on. This could have been prevented by more training in aborted takeoffs or if I had not given him the right to decide when to abort on his takeoff. Supplemental information from acn 151803: first officer initiated and performed prior to V1 speed. Normal rejected takeoff checklist accomplished. Normal rollout and turn-off. No physical damage or occurrence. Inspected door. Found secured and locked. Suspect malfunction of sensor unit. Brake cooling required (260 degrees maximum). Returned to gate.
