Altman Easy Door Latch Strength Issue?

After the passenger side of my 57 opened next to my pregnant wife while driving not long ago I sought alternatives to my original 1957 latches. After reading lots of content on here I bought the Altman Latches from Trique. Unfortunately, I don't have time to do the install and want them now so I dropped the truck off at the body shop. I was speaking with my body man today and he said he thought they could have been made better in the sense that they bolt on to the sheet metal panel versus the door frame and will have some flex. In other words, he thought they won't have as much strength as the originals that attach to the door frame. Have you guys with these had any issues in this regard? Did you do anything to give them more strength? Either way, knowing the doors should open and close like a new truck makes me happy. Thanks.
