Narrative:

The event was a low speed rejected takeoff. Around 80-90 kts we received a door forward cargo ECAM. As per my brief on rejected takeoff; I assumed aircraft control and rejected the takeoff. I believe the maximum speed attained was around 90 kts. The auto brakes engaged and pulled the aircraft to the right. I immediately disengaged the auto brakes and corrected back to runway center-line using both the rudder pedals and the tiller. I immediately released all brake applications because we were slowing down nicely and the next high speed taxiway was still down the runway a bit. I asked the first officer (first officer) to make a call to the tower telling them we were aborting the takeoff and required no assistance. I applied brakes as we pulled off the runway on taxiway xx and then on to taxiway xy.I then looked at the brake temperatures which were around 400 and climbing slowly. I then made an announcement to the passengers explaining what had just happened and that there was nothing to worry about and that we would have to coordinate with maintenance and allow the brakes to cool off. I then called [maintenance control] and explained the situation. We came to an agreement that it was best to go to a gate and get maintenance [to] look at the door and get brake fans to cool the brakes. I then asked the first officer to call operations and coordinate for a gate; maintenance; and arrange for brake fans. We proceeded to the gate; blocked in; and released the parking brake after we confirmed that all wheels were chalked. They took a little bit to get the fans in place. The temperatures reached around 675 on the left and around 770 on the right. Once the brake fans were in place; the temperatures came down quickly. Sometime during all of this when we were parked at the gate; the fuse plugs on the right side tires melted. After the brakes cooled off; we changed the 2 right side tires. We called dispatch and coordinated for a new release and more gas.
