Abstract: A forcible entry training device for use with overhead doors includes an adjustable frame that is designed to hold a variety of overhead doors of different sizes, and also includes an adjustable support that applies support from the back of the door and thereby provides structural integrity to the door so that multiple vertical cuts can be made through the door. In one embodiment, vertical members in the frame are adjustably connected to horizontal members. Clamps are provided in the vertical members to secure the edges of the overhead door to the frame. Adjustable-length stabilizing legs can be used to hold the frame and door in an upright position, even when resting on an uneven surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing realistic simulation of forcible entry techniques using replaceable components that are designed to be deformed and/or destroyed during use. One embodiment includes a simulator having a door frame, a door pivotally mounted on the door frame, and at least one training station sub-unit that is mounted on either the door or the frame. The training station sub-unit includes at least one component that is designed to be destroyed and replaced (sometimes known as a “consumable” component). The consumable component is destroyed during use of the training station in order to produce a realistic training experience for the trainee using the station. The training station may be a door edge insert sub-unit that holds a consumable metal insert at an edge of the door proximal to the door latch, where the metal insert is deformed upon forcibly prying the door open.
