I can't say I've ever come across a door frame where the door jam was a separate piece but if I did I guess I could use any number of household items like a butter knife or a spatula or even a credit card if you own one.
The stop is always a separate piece. Several separate pieces make up the door jam. But it's always calked and painted to look like a solid piece unless you're making a video about some things that you don't know anything about and mock up a door in a way that makes it look really easy to do something when it is actually easy, even when you do it the way you'd encounter it on a real friggin door.
@@invictusbp1prop143, always? What if, as the case for my door, projecting a line from the latch would pass through the full ~10cm of the door frame and come out in the middle of the pattern on the front? Instead of being like the piece in the video where it's only ~2cm deep then recedes back to inline with the latch?
@@JNCressey thats when the "Under Door Attack" is used, using a sturdy wire and string.... if its a handled doorway that is... knobs are a lil different, they require the "Attack from Above" method... generally using some kinda belt and string.
I work as a elevator Mech in NYC I have two of these ..works for me just fine I also made a "shove knife from a framing square ..learned it all from firemen
You use the "Under door Attack" method... basically a long sturdy coat hanger wire or something similar and some string attached. Look up "non-destructive entries methods" for more. All depends on the door.
Most interior doors nowadays are split jamb doors, in other words the jamb is made in two pieces for ease of installation. In these doors the stop that he slid the tool behind is not separate from the jamb, it's all one piece with the hinge side of the jamb. I've been a finish carpenter for over 20 years and every interior door I've installed has been this type.
It is a firefighter/leo tool used to gain access to buildings with causing damage to door frames and locks. Next option up from this is forcible entry, i.e. Halligan Bar with sledge hammer or flat head axe. Just a little FYI
I’m a locksport, and that’s very true. Much tighter tolerances, as well as disc, dimple and mortise locks are a different animal compared to our simple pins . Some can be attacked the same way, but many require different tools
What a terrible example how to use that tool. Tiny flat head screw driver inserted into the hole on the handle and it will unlock. With zero damage to anything
So yeah tearing open the trim on a bedroom remember all the police need is a hair and they can plant that shit if they find a receipt for a tool like this depending on who u are ur done why not just us a 5 cent hanger!

Painter forgot to caulk

@@thatmeme1360, Yeah. Under door tool would get past the door I was talking about
That seems to be the perfect rigidity, especially running into high end homes, with proper caulking applied to the door stop. Cool video.

Cool. I’m putting a couple of nails in the architraves near the latch now.
What happens when the good carpenter glued the door stop trim, and 30yrs of paint and there’s a nail right in front of bolt

Ummm, you take out a knife and cut the caulk, paint, and glue line. Then you get to work and open that door. Easy!
The idea is doing the minimal damage. We would just take the trim off lol
Haha yea. You would have to score it with an xacto then separate it as best as you can a bit 😒
Easy a different angle
Good thing to know, you juste have to put multiple nails near the door latch on the trim so no tools fit behind
Install the latch correctly so the dead latch engages properly and you won't have this issue. If it doesn't have one get one with a dead latch.

Then out come the breach pens
I just utilize my telekinetic powers to gain entry.
if you stick a pick in the circular hole there is an unlock button inside lol
the ink cartridge of a disposable pen (bic pens best) or most clickable pens works as well
I think he's just using that door to showcase how the tool works. It would work the same if the door was locked with a key.
@@MrToomanynamesgone and for elevators
Not on mine. Mine require a special tool to turn the inside core,
@@OnTheRiver66 like a eyeglass flathead
Not on any door I installed it won't
Putty knife works just as good
Why are so many people talking bad about this tool. There is a reason you can’t find this at most places
Amazing idea
Like
A thin table knife works just as well
Interesting 👍
If all door frames were built like that cheap one you have it would work
Where did you buy your info t see it on Amazon. But I see them on Firestore
Butter knife is all you need 😂
You know what else works really well too, kicking the door in.
Ya that works, but then you look like an ape. I'm on the truck and believe me, I love smashing shit, but you don't always have to do that.
What are the shaped parts for?
for outward swinging doors. there is a good video on the shovel knife for outward swinging doors on youtube
👍👍👍
😍😍😍
In Europe the locks and doors are better build.
they are shitter build
I’m a locksport, and that’s very true. Much tighter tolerances, as well as disc, dimple and mortise locks are a different animal compared to our simple pins . Some can be attacked the same way, but many require different tools
Specially doors
Butter knife 101
What happens when guys like me put a series of finishing nails in front so tools like that don't work?
What happens then? Then they break your door instead of using respectful entry.
Then someone uses their size 11 1/2 master key.
Lmao, if u had to get into it in a hurry I could run into it
Zilch71 true but this tool is trying to limit the damage.
Why u don't use a metal ruler ?
tommy Chan you can use whatever you want if it works.
What’s easier to carry dude this or a friggin metal ruler?
Metal rules doesn't work on INWARD swinging doors as well.
That's why
Where can you but it SOS
...try it in Europe :) you will not succeed
Ya well that won’t work with a regular milled door as there isn’t that piece of trim on the door frame. So ya not a good video
lol. An old credit card will do the same thing...
Credit cards dont bend that easy and arent that thin/strong
Plastic bottle cut into strip, better idea
What a terrible example how to use that tool. Tiny flat head screw driver inserted into the hole on the handle and it will unlock. With zero damage to anything
Yeah, you’re right. The cuts in the tool are used around the latch to open doors, not go between mounding lol
So yeah tearing open the trim on a bedroom remember all the police need is a hair and they can plant that shit if they find a receipt for a tool like this depending on who u are ur done why not just us a 5 cent hanger!
