Mike
At FDIC the best door prop ever made was used in the forcible entry class. It was designed by Mike Perrone of FDNY who owns Fire Innovations you can contact him at miperro56@aol There is no better door anywhere it will do everything you want and it will outlast you and me. Mike is great guy, all doors are custom made by Mike and satisfaction is assured. I wouldn't say it if I hadn't used it myself ,it feels acts and reacts like the real thing.

Mike,

Mr. Halton has the low down on Mr Peronne's prop. Also, if you have someone handy with a welder (like a tech rescue member) you can make one fairly easily that you can replace hardware on. I will take some images of the one built by one of our engineers. it has replaceable steel angle iron pieces (6") as well as flat pieces so you ruin those cutting bolts, forcing doors, etc., not the doors.

I will add them here with the credits to Engineer Mike Scarpella of South Metro (Colorado) Fire Rescue

Gentlemen, the Multi-Force Forcible Entry Door System by Firehouse Innovations just launched their website. Based on Long Island and created by a 28 Year Veteran FDNY Firefighter from L-175, the door is being used right now at "The Rock" on Randalls Island (FDNY Training Academy).

Looks like a great prop, probably a little more than we are looking to spend, but it was a great training video!

The door looks great. how does the price compare to the friction force? The regional school I work with has a home spun door using similar technique. Our door's design limits the technique we can teach. I like this prop. How many forces can you get before the door needs some attention? Please send any info back to me as far as ordering and pricing. Nice web site.

Here is a video which is on my page taken on course given by The Brotherhood Instructors. Some of which work for the FDNY. Such as Dave Collado who was present for this course.
Something all fire departments should train with.
