What We Do
Allow us to cover a few things.
Very little in the Fire Service nowadays is original. No matter what is being taught, built, or conveyed; someone in the past has probably taught, built or conveyed it already. These doors are no different.
Don’t get us wrong, we love these doors, we believe they offer an extremely realistic feel; but there are a lot of doors on the market and many of them are great. Hell, we’re friends and even customers of some of the amazing companies out there doing their part to make this amazing job better.
Something else we strongly believe in is giving credit where it’s due. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention Brian Abbott, Gary Lane, and Shawn Foust. The original design was the brain child of these three incredible mentors and friends of ours. We have made tweaks and changes but the fact is that Brian, Gary and Shawn were the first to offer the design and we are extremely grateful for their contributions to the Fire Service as a whole. These are the types of people we are proud to know.
Aside from doors, we can help you with a wide array of welding and fabrication work to include:
-Widow Props (Mounted or Standalone)
-Lock Props
-Conex Box Build Outs
-Non fire service related welding and fabrication
We also offer training in various truck company topics.
All training props come with 2 hours of training on a day of your choosing.
All welding work is backed by a one year warranty.
Our primary focus here is making a high quality, durable, yet realistic forcible entry training door. Closely following the design from Brain, Gary, and Shawn, we use two pieces of 3/4” plywood for the actual swinging part of the door. This gives an extremely realistic flex that is felt in almost any residential door a firefighter will come across.
These doors are mounted with three hinges and 5/8” pins for resiliency. The doors are also sleeved with a 1/4” plate, wrapped abound the edge that runs a full 60 inches giving a generous space in which to force. The door stop is welded from the back as to not put a weld where you are gapping the door and is made of cold rolled steel for added durability.
