If, during a takeoff roll something happens which causes the pilot to decide to stop on the runway remaining ahead, and the pilot is confident that can be easily achieved, okay. The worst you're doing is causing a change in plan for a pilot behind you. But, bursting a tire with heavy braking, or going off the runway edge or end is certainly not worth it for a door opening. Based upon my experience, the only type which would really worry me if a door came open are a Piper Navajo nose baggage door (a well known preflight super check). Otherwise, I'm confident that the plane can be flown a circuit and landed safely, and most likely, without damage.
