Narrative:
On takeoff roll; we had a master caution light illuminate due to the forward entry door. Speed was 137 KTS; temperature 19 degrees C; winds down the runway at approximately 15 KTS. Runway was dry with VMC. First officer was doing the takeoff; captain assumed control for the abort. Abort concluded uneventfully. Brake cooling chart entered to determine time to next takeoff. Supplemental information from acn 780488: takeoff 155K pounds. At 137 KTS; 6-PACK 'door' illuminated. 13000 ft runway; clear skies. I opted to abort. Disconnected autobrake immediately after and performed a smooth deceleration. Returned to gate for cool-down with chocks.
