Come join us for an 8 hour forcible entry course where we’ll cover conventional forcible entry tips and tricks, plus dive into the world of respectful entry by going through the lock. We will spend the morning in class reviewing door/lock size up, mechanical advantage of the Halligan bar, how to generate force with your axe, through the lock techniques on residential, commercial, and add-on locks, and discuss various tools (i.e. shove knives, K-tool, adz rex, J-tool, force wedge, mod. framing square). The afternoon will be spent practicing the skills and techniques we discussed in class.
