主权项

1. A forcible entry door training apparatus, comprising:
a base plate; a door frame mounted to the base plate, the door frame comprising a first side jamb, a second side jamb and a header jamb coupled between upper ends of the first and second side jambs; and a door having a first side edge and a second side edge; and at least one hinge attaching the first side edge of the door to the first side jamb of the door frame for hingedly mounting the door within the door frame, wherein the at least one hinge is mounted to the first side jamb for slidable motion to and way from an inner surface of the first side jamb and wherein the at least one hinge includes springs that bias the at least one hinge away from the inner surface of the first side jamb and which resist compression with sufficient force to simulate forces that are encountered when attempting to wedge a pry tool between a door and a door jamb.
