A training door for breaching tools has a frame on which the door is hung by hinges at a hinge edge, while at an opposite edge being retained to a jamb by one or more non-shearing bolts. When the door is forced by a breaching tool at the bolt location, the jamb is forced laterally away from the door edge, against rubber mounts that allow limited jamb movement. As the door is forced in (or out, depending on its swing direction), with the jamb spread away somewhat the bolt will bend and fail pulling out of its socket. Replaceable sleeves are secured to the door edge, in several sections of the door to avoid breach tool damage on the door itself. |

1. A reusable training door for training the use of breaching tools in forcing open a locked door, comprising:
a door frame, including structure supporting the door frame in an erect, essentially vertical position, and the door frame including, connected together, a threshold horizontal member, a hinge side upright member, an overhead horizontal member and an upright jamb, a door supported by hinges on the hinge side upright member of the door frame, the door having a hinged edge and a latch edge, and including a bolt lock engaged between the latch edge of the door and the upright jamb of the door frame, the door frame including rubber mounts at top and bottom ends of the jamb connected to the jamb and the horizontal members and normally retaining the jamb in a normal position with the rubber mounts essentially undeflected and allowing movement of the jamb outwardly away from the latch edge of the door during a breaching operation using a breaching tool, the rubber mounts being positioned to deform elastically to allow the outward movement of the jamb away from the door when sufficient force is applied to the jamb by the breaching tool, and including a fixed stop connected to the door frame at each of top and bottom of the door, limiting outward movement of the jamb to a predefined distance, and including a removably replaceable protective covering sheath of bend resistant metal secured releaseably to the latch edge of the door to protect the door's latch edge when the breaching tool is engaged to breach the door. |
