Halligan on an inward opening Catalyst Force Entry Door loaded with two dowels and a 2x2 wood block making it one of the most difficult lock mechanisms you will find in a real world scenario. With a halligan and wedge or axe, trust the process of creating gap, then exploiting the gap. The axe or wedge is to maintain the gap so you don't lose it as you reposition. Hold. Exploit. Hold. Exploit. It's slow at first and then you only get better. Breach Ours. Save Theirs. #firstresponders #forcibleent
