Where firefighters come to talk training

Does anyone have any experience with through the lock training? I would like to have something that is portable, easy to reuse, and somewhat cheap. Any ideas would help. Thanks

Have any of you guys ever heard of KnoxBox? There is no etter way to get into a locked building or residential occupancy. Besides, all of the fire codes authorize them and FEMA even pays for them under the FP&S grant program.

Also become friends with your local locksmiths. They will sometimes have a box of throw aways. I try to hit up some of the big chain guys too, they sometimes have "extras" that they'll give ya, this goes for doors too. Last guy I talked to said that most returned doors, just go in the dumpster.
