    Please describe the procedure you would use to force an inward-swinging, dead bolted residential door with just a halligan.

    Thank you.

    Adze end near the lock. Push the tongs towards the door.

    In swinging doors are more of a pain than out swinging doors but one person still can force it with just a halligan if you use the right method. When the lock is on the right side you swing the pick of the halligan into the jam near the lock then push the adz against the door forcefully down and away from you. If the lock is on the left side you swing the adz into the jam near the lock then forcefully push the pick against the door down and away from you. It does require quite a bit of force. Ideally you would want 2 people forcing an in swinging door but it can be done with one person. And sometimes it may require more than one try. Rabbit tools are not meant to be used on wood frame doors.

    The good thing about this job is that we have done so much, with so little, for so long that we can do everything with nothing...... which is what is wrong with this job.
