Abstract: The door forcing apparatus for forcing a door set in a door jamb comprises two side rails each having a substantially L-shaped cross section engagable with a beveled edge between the door jamb and the door, a plurality of nearly flat drive wedges pivotally mounted on the side rails adjacent their vertices each having a nearly flat foot oriented parallel to the door pivotally mounted adjacent their circular-arc-shaped edge pressible against the door, two adjustable braces each of which comprise a bracing hydraulic cylinder or a turnbuckle which is pivotally attached to each of the two side rails adjacent one end of the apparatus, two U-shaped-cross-sectioned drive rods on each of which the drive wedges connected to the side rails are pivotally mounted and two driving hydraulic cylinders, each of which has a piston rod pivotally attached to an end of one of the drive rods and whose cylinder is pivotally mounted on a support bracket at one end of a side rail.
