I work for a company that manufactures fire training props. Right now, I am working on a lock prop that would offer firefighters several different lock types to train on. Because I am not a firefighter (my background is engineering), I am trying to gain some insight as to which type of locks to include and what methods would be commonly used to force entry.
I wanted to focus the prop mainly on the through the lock entry methods, but I might also include some basic cutting/power tool features (hinges, deadbolt cutting).
I have seen the cylinder removal technique using the k-tool and halligan or similar tools, but I was wondering what techniques are used on other lock types?
The lock types I wanted to include and entry techniques I am wondering about are (I have included part numbers for similar locks on www.mcmaster.com):
1. Heavy Duty DeadBolt (1336A21)
2. Mortise Lock (12195A55)
3. Lever lock (11325A37)
4. Rim Locks
5. Push Button locks w/o key (8114A11)
I would appreciate it if anyone could shed some light onto how these locks are breached preferably with minimal lock damage (if possible) or if the lock/door would require a more aggressive approach (cutting, prying, etc.).
I am also open to general suggestions for what you, as a firefighter, would like to see in terms of training features.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
