Breaching Technologies Lock Explosive Breaching Door - Manual (Page 8)

Explosive Door Operation
Your new breaching door has been designed to simulate an inwardly opening door for
forced entry training utilizing Explosive Pushing Charges. This door may be mounted
in a structure such as a training or live fire facility, or may be utilized with the optional
freestanding kit.
Pins. With the purchase of your
BTI training door, you received a
quantity of green explosive
breaching pins. Although 4 types
of pins are available for use with
the various BTI training doors,
only the Green pins are
recommended for use in the BTI
Explosive Breaching Door.
Breaching The Door. Your new breaching door has been engineered to simulate
scenarios for forced entry training utilizing explosives.
After closing the door, a single
BTI explosive type (Green) pin is
inserted into the socket as shown.
The pin should insert a distance of
approximately ¼” into the socket
when fully seated. Due to stresses
and strains imparted upon the
door structure during breaching,
slight misalignments will occur
over time. Accordingly, the
system has been designed such
that the amount of engagement
into the socket is not extremely
critical. A second pin socket is
provided in case damage occurs
which makes one of the sockets
unusable.
