Breaching Technologies Hydraulic Breaching Door - Manual (Page 6)

Breaching Door Operation
Your new breaching door has been designed to simulate an inwardly opening door for
forced entry training. This door may be mounted in a structure such as a training or live
fire facility, or may be utilized with the optional BTI Hydraulic Door Stand.
Pins. With the purchase of your BTI training door, you received a quantity of breaching
pins. These patented pins have been engineered in both material and shape such that
when used in conjunction with the BTI training door, the breacher experiences realistic
forces.
Three types of pins are available for use with the BTI training door:
Wood Type - These pins simulate forces found when breaching a typical wood
construction door/frame. This type of pin would normally be used to simulate a
residential building breach.
Metal Type - These pins simulate forces found when breaching a typical metal
construction door/frame. This type of pin would normally be used to simulate a
commercial building breach.
Reinforced Type - These pins simulate excessive forces found when trying to
breach a Reinforced door/frame. This type of pin would normally be used to train
students on “secondary or plan B” scenarios. These pins offer approximately
50% more resistance than the metal type pins. These type pins are breachable,
given enough force. It is suggested that 3 to 5 pins be utilized in this type of
training scenario.
Although all three types of pins are identical in size, designation of each type of pin can
be determined by color. As shown below, left to right are Wood, Metal, and Reinforced
type pins. These are color coded clear, blue, and red respectively.
