While two Halligan tools can be joined to increase leverage (as we will show in an upcoming video), rarely are two halligans initially available to perform the task. In this video, Andrew shows how a normal tool compliment (hook and halligan) can assist you to make quick work of a tough door.<br />

More methods for increasing leverage will be shown in upcoming segments.

<br />
Many instructors teach to spend time shearing the angle iron off prior to forcing the door. We teach using the angle iron to our advantage to provide extra leverage on the locks to force the door. Whichever technique that you use, practice with it, and always have a back-up plan.<br />
