Was probably just a case of a faulty sensor because if it had indeed opened at that moment the pilots would have felt the plane pull to the left. In a case like this, it would be safe to reset the sensor and try another take-off. If they had felt any kind of pull I am certain they would have done a gate return without hesitation.
The message indicates the rejects were at 60 and 82, so fairly "slow" for an airplane (anything below 80 is considered "low speed regime").
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
