I agree with Bob. Preflight.... Just before throttle up check the doors...but
if you want some cheap insurance too put a switch on each of the rear shoot 
bolts
that puts a ground on a bright red LED directly in front of you on the panel,
you are much less likely to take off with a door ajar. As to snagging the handle
in-flight and opening a door, there was a point in the building of the doors
where a simple flat piece of fiberglass is installed that hides the end of
the door handle requiring you to reach behind it to open the door latch. There
should not be a knob or handle extension of any kind attached to the door 
opening
lever that can be snagged with your shirt sleeve.
