just take a k12 with apropriate blade and cut a vertical slot. then take a j tool or a framing square and insert it into slot. 30 second force with minimal effort.
at first i was like wtf why would they make a hole in the door instead of just executing a normal forced entry but then the end i was like oh now i get it, i never thought about that
These fucking idiots never find the knox box, thanks to fireman S.hithole indeed. These guys are all just worthless sacks of pension scamming dog shit.
Just another method I want to share with you brothers. Using a chain saw, go through the door just above the panic bar and cut down until you hit it. When you hit the panic bar just push up on the saw which brings down the blade. The blade will disengage the lock and the door opens.
This is just outstanding! I'm gonna try it on a glass door and see how it works! All kidding aside, this is a great one to throw in the mental toolbox.
Good video, but you can't always assume there is a bar there, on some old junked out buildings the bar has been removed or missing. Has anyone tried tapping up the hinge nails on a outer swinging door? Tap all 3 hinges out & you can force the door open from the opposite side where the locks are. Any feedback is appreciated on this method I mentioned.
Yes we run lockouts a lot on the Truck I serve on. Have used it on rear position Box Alarms with success too. We bought some drift pins for our tool box and use a 3 pound hammer or the halligan to strike the drift pin and you're in fast. Drift pins are longer than nail sets and work great. They're case hardened and better than messing up a good screwdriver. You can put the door back undamaged usually. Train with it around quarters. Remember the door closer though!

Thanks for the comment. This option is just that, an option. Maybe you have gone conventional prying on the jamb, and you aren't getting anywhere, something else to try.

Commercial doors don't have pins in there hinges, the caps at the top are there just for looks.

for the most part there is a panic bar or a flat bar there if there is no lock or door handle on the opposite side of the door

when there is a door like this with a wall opposite of it, the junkies where I used to work would use a pipe and a small hydralic car jack.

@chadsworthks yeah I was wondering what the benefit of going thru the middle of the door was until that very last shot. pretty cool stuff.
