PATENT NO: US 8,408,917 B2

This patented door system provides the ability to force left or right-handed, opening in or opening out doors, metal or wood jambs. All on the same door system. You can even use angle iron on the door to simulate high security apartment doors.

This door allows you to use the gapping method and conventional forcible entry methods on opening-in metal jams (like on apartment doors). Hydra-Rams & Rabbit Tools can also be used.

Opening-out forcible entry on metal jambs can also be used (like on commercial buildings or bulkhead doors). Also, you can use the spiking method on the wood jamb simulator (like on private dwelling doors).

In addition, the door is used every year to train over 300 firefighters at Fire Engineering's FDIC HOT (Hands-On Training) Forcible Entry Class in Indiana.
