Training props

I know we all have been looking for good ways to train out guys on forcing doors. Anyone have any good ideas for a traing prop?

Thanks,

Josh

we use a solid door frame made of steel mounted to a cement floor. the doors are quickly bolted on to the frame and we have moving locks which can be bolted in different place to mock different locking options we may run into. If you would like I can send you a photo of the prop, it might make more seance to see it rather than try to figure out what im trying to describe. Sorry its clear in my head but hard to describe the right way.
