Forcible Entry, Inc. - Why We Built the Door

Mobility
We provide two transporting options to increase the safety and efficiency while reducing the headache of moving and staging your door.
The Wheel System makes a 650 lb. door into a nimble table on wheels.
The Forklift Header comes standard on every door. Slots are provided in the header of every door frame so you can easily slide the forks through and move the door to its destination be it across the parking lot or onto a trailer.
Versatility
Locking Combinations: 1-3 dowels plus 2 x 2 wood block options with no need for a wedge to stabilize to maintain consistency. Conduit pipe fits in dowel holes, which is ideal for outward opening / commercial door evolutions.
Trainable Inward and Outward
30”, 32”, or 36” width choices prior to production
Lock & Chain capable
Crush Prop Straps - Included Standard - for mounting real commercial doors to practice crushing edge
Props bolt on/off:
- Security Screen
- Drop Bar
- Commercial Cutting Door
- Hinge Pulling / Hinge Cutting
Durability
The Catalyst Force Entry Door is built to last, plain and simple. It is designed to be maintained by your department without the headache of purchasing more parts from us or scheduling service.
- AR450 - The Strike Plates run top to bottom the full length of the door allowing the ability to force or strike the door wherever there is YELLOW.
- Flex Tech Jambs - our proprietary design and CAD tested jambs allow for realistic flex (and consistent bounce back) for the realism you would experience in a door.
- Marine Grade Wood - 7-layer laminate sealed marine grade (“boat”) wood allow for flex and feel of a real door while protection against constant water flow.
- Total Number of Evolutions - a wood door strategically reinforced with AR450 is longer lasting than metal, the following doors experienced close to 25,000 forcible entry evolutions before needing service.
- No moving parts - A wrench and impact gun for only 2 sized nuts & bolts plus a rubber mallet is all it takes to maintain gap and tightness.
Consistency
Every evolution can be set up the same way every time for thousands of entries. In other words, the C6 Academy Lock Break Mechanism does not need any wedges/consumables applied in addition to the prescribed 2x2 wood block, 3/4” dowels, or 3/4” metal conduit. Thereby, our lock mechanism can be utilized for testing and certification.
The Flex Tech jambs provide a realistic, consistent flex with each evolution. They will flex and give like a real door and spring back to their original state thousands of times over. In fact, after 10 years, we have yet to experience hearing or witnessing a jamb NOT flexing back as it did when it first came off our production line.
Realistic
The result of the previous value-adds of the Catalyst Force Entry Door is that it is the most realistic training door in the market. Through the combination of its design, materials and exhaustive ability to stage out every evolution in your area of operation, the CFED stops being a simulator and becomes a real world replica to ensure the realism needed to be proficient in both tools and skills while on a call.
Materials & Design
Allow for a durability, long-lasting, consistent product that you can rely on to recreate the scenario needing training every time
Functionality
The wood door flexes like a real door while retaining its durability
The Flex Tech jambs react like a real residential and commercial door
The lock mechanism is consistent in housing the consumables and reacts the same each time based on its load
Move and stage out the door alone or inside building to fit the training scenario
Use the wheel system to add plywood/sheet-rocked walls for confined space training. Add a tarp and smoke machine to create sensory deprivation training.
The Catalyst Force Entry Door comes in two variations to fit within your training infrastructure:
Stand Alone
Mobile. Versatile. Realistic without losing durability. Flex Tech door jambs and marine grade wood reinforced with AR450 strike plates bottom to top to create realistic feedback of both a commercial and residential door. Built in forklift header and detachable wheel system make transport easy from station to station. Additional props bolt on and detach seamlessly to save space and budget. Real commercial MAN doors also mount into the frame (with crush prop) to work camming a door. Lasts over 25,000 evolutions and counting.
Direct Mount
Utilize and maximize the training infrastructure you already have. Upgrade your current training facility or convert an existing building and stay under budget. Direct Mount doors add to variability needed to customize scenarios and match your area of operation. The realism, and durability create the much needed applicability and consistent training. Installs into any preexisting structure regardless of material used be it wood / stick built, CMU/cinder block/concrete, or Conex/flat plate (Draeger).
