There was a modification of the latch mechanism so there are 2 positive stops when latching; the first a kind of safety stop, and the second fully closed. There is quite a bit of negative pressure on the doors when flying, so obviously you need to ensure the latches are fully closed and brief all passengers not to open the latch in flight. Unlike some aircraft with clamshell doors, the latch mechanism is quite simple and easy to check to ensure it is closed. I also check the hinges as part of the preflight. As far as cruise speed. At 7-8000 feet I cruise at 130kts TAS.
