Commercial Door System

$500.00

Beyond the standard kit we offer a Commercial Door System upgrade option. The Commercial Door System upgrade comes with everything needed to switch from standard residential or outward commercial reps to a more advanced force with door crush and drop bar defeat capabilities. The Commercial System comes with the door crush sleeve, extra set of hinges, drop bar mounts, and additional hardware for assembly. Once assembled, instructors will have the opportunity to demonstrate why setting the adz and getting a crush on the door is imperative to eliminate the possibility of skinning the door and creating more problems when it comes to forcing metal commercial doors. Once the adz is set then the initial defeat of the panic bar or deadbolt is achieved by defeating the force wood that is secured in the slots provided, then to identify that there is a drop bar present. Once drop bar has been identified then the instructor can take the students through multiple ways to defeat it.

The awesome thing about using a metal door is that you can set up the door with several carriage bolts to practice the technique before going through the full run demos of scenarios with the setup. Note to buyer is that this commercial upgrade kit will be used more for a demonstration and then a couple of actual full run forces before the actual metal door will be useless and need to be replaced to be taught again. As you can see in the pictures, you can get a full class of practice on defeating carriage bolts on the door and then be able to get at least six full run forces on the door crush sleeve and drop bar defeat.

Disclaimer - The use of 2”x2” force wood will increase the likelihood of creasing the actual metal door used and possible damage to crush sleeve can occur, so it is recommended to only use 1”x2” force wood. Crush sleeve has cut out areas intended for crushing and non-cut out areas not intended for crushing as they are not reinforced for the pressure exerted during the door crush.
