Forcible Entry Door - Prop and Techniques

This video is on a forcible entry prop called the Multi-Force Forcible Entry Door System. It was designed by Mike Perrone of the FDNY. I was involved in researching many of the commercially made forcible entry props on the market and we decided to go with Mike’s door to use at the Technical College I teach for as a part time Instructor. The prop sells for $6,500 which obviously isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every penny. If you’re looking for a prop to practice using the “Irons” this is definitely the one to go with.

In the video Mike will demonstrate the prop itself as well as some techniques for gapping, spreading and conventional forcible entry. Keep in mind that the video shows only a small portion of all the different procedures and methods than can be used to force a door. As with any other operation training is the key element – Remember: “Perfect Practice leads to Perfect Performance”

Train, Be Prepared, Stay Safe – SURVIVE!

Comment by DALE G. PEKEL on January 30, 2011 at 3:25pm: Glad you liked the video Rex - If you don't have access to a lot of acquired structures for training these types of props are a great alternative. The only problem is the cost; Being $6,500 many Departments (especially volunteer organizations) can't afford them. Another option is to look a cooperative purchase among neighboring Departments to split the cost and share the prop.

Best of luck,
