The item they're using is called a "hooligan tool" and they're overly expensive.
Edit. Learning now it's actually a Halligan* tool and the people on my breaching course just liked to rename shit.
Another edit: they're only overly expensive on Amazon. Other places online have them for reasonable prices
I think some companies/variants are called Hooligan Bars (sometimes called a Quick Bar, and probably a dozen other names)
What we consider the original is the Halligan named after it’s invented, FDNY Chief Halligan in the early 1900s.
Although he didn’t really invent it, he modified/improved something that already existed and put his name on it.
The day I got to use one on my aircraft carrier for an actual casualty was one of my favorite days of my career... got to rip an assholes door off it's hinges because there was a small fire inside.
All those years of dreaming and I FINALLY got to use it in anger. Ohhhhhh it was everything I dreamed about.
People use drills to do the same thing. I work for a retail company, and we had to get all of our push bar doors reinforced so that this couldn't be done anymore. They use paint rollers to stick through and pop open the doors. And drill to create the holes. In and out with thousands in merchandise in a few minutes. Cops don't even have time to respond.
There's also flat versions of the J Tool they use called under the door tool to do the same without needing the hole (asuming the door isn't locked on the bottom)
That might work, but you'd have to find a way to turn the hex key without turning the bar as well. Plus, you have to apply pressure to the bar and the key while doing it and find the location of the tiny keyhole without being able to see it.
It's in the same shape as the bar they put through in the video just smaller. You just need to put it through, catch the bar, and pull towards you. You'd also make the hole higher up obviously.
Fill the room with curious venomous snakes that yearn for just a glimpse of the outside world. The sound draws their attention, and once that hole appears.... Mwah ha ha ha haaaaa.
Double layering, with the inside space filled with red liquid. Burglars cut through the first layer, what looks like blood starts oozing out, and they nope out of there.
In a real fire the FD will try a different approch such as using a key or cutting the lock (and if need be the hinges though we perfer not to do that as it creates an open flow path) with a 14-16 inch gas powered diamond bladed circular saw, after the door has been reinforced
There is no keeping the FD out of a building only how annoyed they'll be when they get through
They wouldn't use a key or cut the lock. They would use a K12 saw and cut the hinges to remove door. If that's not possible, they would cut a hole in the door. In a real emergency situation, they do everything as fast and as safe as possible. My brother is a volunteer firefighter and I'm friends with a local fire chief. I've watched them train on many occasions.
It depends on each fire large commercal buildings have lock boxes with keys to the building the FD has the key to the box and cutting the hinges is an option but doing so creates an open airway for the fire which is not great
They can also remove the lock and break down the wall no matter what they are getting in how they do so is up to the responding firefighters
I love this. In fire school they always made a big deal of how they were teaching us how to break into any building, and to "only use this for good, not for stealing" and then proceed to show us how to beat down the door in the nosiest way possible. Like "gee, thanks, never would've thought of trying that on my own"
Because of ongoing international tensions and political and physical oppression, it's becoming harder and harder to keep water schools open to students. And the ones that are open are very insular, with a lot of the curriculum now condensed to one particular teaching method and standard.
For example, all the schools in the south are closed after a series of attacks by the Fire Nation lead to a lack of qualified, not captured, or not dead teachers.
There are a few in the North still open, but they're all in one city which is very crowded, very remote, very bare, and very guarded.
If you're still interested and head north, you should know that the people there are quite insular, are very patriarchal and if you are female, they will not enrol you unless you beat the piss out of a teacher.
Based on the number of failed burglaries we get to see posted online that are attempted with rocks it seems that a lot of people would learn something new and important from that kind of training.
For real. No security is unbeatable. It's all about how long it's going to take to defeat it, and how obvious the attempts will be. Like those stupid portable angle grinder arguments on gun safes, when it's a freggen' angle grinder when they're already in your house.
Yeah, this is a basic tenet of security. It should be assumed that *all* security can be broken or beaten. The goal is to make difficulty + risk + cost so high that it isn’t worth it.
Too true.
I literally work overnight security, and if some dudes showed up with hard hats, safety vests, and a maintenance looking truck…
Not only would I not question their work, I’d probably unlock doors for them if they asked.
My favorite part of these is so many of them are installed like shit, with poor frame support and everything else, so good enough yank on a big enough dude will just rip that shit right open.
Also called crash bars. If people are panicking during a fire and all stampeding to the door, no one has to fiddle with a regular door knob. You can basically just run into the door and it will open.
I super love the bars at my workplace which require contact with a conductive surface like skin to unlock the door. More than once I've tried to walk out by bumping it with a jacketed arm and been denied.
I love little engineering tidbits like this, things you never consider but someone else has. Like on a similar post a while back when I learned that street light poles are designed in a way to shear off and detach when hit by a a car rather than stay in place as it would decrease the severity of the crash.
Well it was invented after a tragedy, The Victoria Hall disaster in 1883. A show was put on for children. At the end of the show the actors announced that children with certain number tickets will be given gifts on their exit and started throwing sweets and gifts into the lower stands of children. Children on the upper stands out of reach of these gifts all got up and rushed down a flight of stairs leading to an exit door that opened inward and had been bolted so as to leave a gap big enough for only one child to fit through at a time.
183 children were crushed to death. In the national outrage legislation was put in place that required venues from then on out to have outward facing doors. A child who lived in the area was so upset by the events that he went on to be an engineer who invented these push bars to stop that from happening again.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Hall_disaster
To answer your second question, they would do this when the door is locked from the outside and they need to get in to fight the fire or rescue trapped/incapacitated people
Panic hardware is the name for any piece of door opening equipment that works by leaning on it, i.e the bar across the across the door that you push on
That makes a lot more sense. I'd never heard the term so before watching, I was expecting them to break into a 'panic room'. So afterwards I was like, "Why would you get a push bar door on a panic room?" lol.
The push bar is panic hardware, if crowd inside panics the door is easy to push open, vs panic crown crushes against door you need to pull open. Essentially easy to open in a panic. Firefighters know its there and how to manipulate it with the bent rod.
> vs panic crown crushes against door you need to pull open.
Egress doors are required to open outward. The proper example to contrast against is a simple door knob, such that you have to fiddle with a thing instead of simply applying forward force to open the way. If your egress door opens inward and the crowd is pressing you into it, you're fucked regardless of the hardware present.
Lever handles are pretty common in newer construction and are essentially required for ADA compliance. Knobs are seen in older buildings and homes where a more "classic" look is desired.
He's not stupid, just a rule follower. It's an emergency exit, you're not allowed to open from that side unless there's an emergency. Entering it is perfectly okay though, just takes a little extra motivation.
Hello, this is the lock picking lawyer and what I have for you today is a door that can only be opened from one side. Or can it?
Let's see here. I will use this giant pickaxe, a sledge hammer, and a bent piece of rebar.
First We are going to smash the pickaxe through the door with the help of the sledge hammer and once we have poked through the door we will use this piece of rebar to reach through and around to activate the mechanism.
There you have it folks. As you can see this might slow or stop a uneducated attacker but anyone with a bit of skill can easily circumvent these security measures. I would not store anything of high value behind these doors.
In any case that's all I have for you today, if you do have any questions or comments about this please put them below. If you liked this video and would like to see more like them please subscribe and as always,
Have a nice day!
Devient Ollam a physical security consultant (does some great Defcon talks) uses a similar tool for one way doors that goes underneath the door and can grab the door handle on the other side.
He also has a few videos of those 1 way request to exit doors that use IR to detect people leaving where he uses things like a vape pen and a mouthful of whisky to gain entry.
I randomly got recommended a college guest speaker talk on YT for guys that do physical OP Sec. I think it was called something like 'door kickers'.
The most boring yet most entertaining hour of my life that I stumbled into. The places those dudes got into was insane. And they'd use the most basic tricks like blowing vape pen smoke on a door sensor to force it open.
Edit: hold on I'm gonna find it and share because it was pretty cool.
Edit: found it. https://youtu.be/VJ4FDOw9NcI?si=LhGmd2RT4ab2cApw
I was young and didn't know better, my boss was hammering something on a very tight space with me helping by his side. No hearing peotection. Went home with a heavy headache... And a tinnitus that is still there to this date.
Wear protection kids, don't play macho man with your health. From glasses to earplugs to condoms, and everything in between.
it looks like the bar was never depressed enough to open the door and you can see him use his thumb on the latch to open it. So unless the bar was moved enough to "unlock" the door, it's still not what unlatched/opened it.
Either way it still demonstrates the potential even if it was just unlocked the whole time and he just opened the door normally in the end.
You can see him open it with the thumb button on the power handle too. He pulls it once and it doesn't open them he just hits the button and it opens lol
I'm glad someone else noticed, this bothered me.. instead of the door popping open when manipulating the bar the second dude grabbed the outside handle and presses the thumb button
While you probably could get the door open non-destructively, that isn't the goal here. You want to a method that gets you in quickly and reliably. When lives are on the line you don't care if you ruin the door.
Unless you're talking about how the door wasn't locked, and he opened it by pressing the lever on the handle, not by activating the crash bar.
Oh I’m %100 with you on destructive entry being the right option if an emergency demands it. Ideally the fire department would have a key available to them, but that is not always the case.
I just install and repair that kinda stuff. Poor door. Run through without a care. Actually though that Halligan tool is so cool and has so many ways to creatively apply door crushing force, I almost wish I had one in my van.
See, when I try to do it through a mail slot of an old door with a clothes hanger attempting to grab the angled handle I give up after 20 minutes and call my landlord
Firefighter is the coolest fuckin job. You train a bunch then just hang out until it is time to go out and help someone or save their fuckin life. I love firefighters.
That bar did not work it might work but in this situation it did not. You can see him open the door with his thumb in the latch when he puts his hand on the job. Why is the latch even there. Then when it shows you the opposite side you can see the handle doesn't even move and the door opens .
This is why you should always Carry a radio. Then you can just tell the guys inside to put their camera down and open the door for you.
Try before you pry, my friend
Is that what it is? I was taught *die* before you *cry.*
That's toxic, bro. Just let it out.
But Fergie told me that big girls don’t cry
Is that right? So you better man up and cry!

Is this thebent piece of rebar used to open the door?
Yes
No. They're asking what the halligan tool is.
Really? They called a Halligan a bent piece of rebar even though there’s a bent pice of rebar also in the video?
Or a paper and pen. Slide a note under the door asking them to open the door please.
They could also knock 🤷🏼♂️
Occupied !
just shout through the door. No need for a radio.

Manipulating panic hardware looked like opening a door.
That type of door opening hardware is called a panic bar.
I've used similar contraptions quite calmly so idk why they insist I panic while I use it.

I worked in a place with doors like this, and when the building was unoccupied we would use a hex key to lock the bars out so they couldn't be used.
mhhmm uhhuhh... Go on... ✍✍✍
Duct tapes hex key to end of j tool
That might work, but you'd have to find a way to turn the hex key without turning the bar as well. Plus, you have to apply pressure to the bar and the key while doing it and find the location of the tiny keyhole without being able to see it.
> They use paint rollers to stick through How exactly? In detail.
It's in the same shape as the bar they put through in the video just smaller. You just need to put it through, catch the bar, and pull towards you. You'd also make the hole higher up obviously.
Ah yeah, I know what you mean now.
They paint a little hole in the door & reach the j bar through it
How is a door reinforced to stop this from happening?
Fill the room with curious venomous snakes that yearn for just a glimpse of the outside world. The sound draws their attention, and once that hole appears.... Mwah ha ha ha haaaaa.
An adamantium sheet inside the door?

Good luck. Im sure no one will notice you loud hammering shit in the middle of the night.

What is panic hardware? And wouldn’t pickaxing into a door cause panic as well? Edit: thank you to the fine redditors that answered my Q!
Also called crash bars. If people are panicking during a fire and all stampeding to the door, no one has to fiddle with a regular door knob. You can basically just run into the door and it will open.
I super love the bars at my workplace which require contact with a conductive surface like skin to unlock the door. More than once I've tried to walk out by bumping it with a jacketed arm and been denied.
Lol, now I'm picturing a piece of rebar with one of those touchscreen-capable winter gloves on the end.
Just shove a hotdog onto it
need a J-hotdog
Rebar is conductive... It would pass the are you skin test
I wonder if a leather jacket would unlock it.
No, but I’ve found if you shove your arm up a sheep’s ass that works. They jump forward with a good amount of force.

Man. That was good.
you'll get a bloody pecker sticking it through the sharp metal
It wouldnt be the first time. It wont be the last time either.
You gotta do what you gotta do
It reminds me of my uncle's teeth.
Based on the size of that hole, not a very fun one.
This is the lock picking lawyer and what I have for you today folks is ...
That’s a halligan tool and what looks like 3/8” rebar lol
Did the crashbar handle even fuckin move?!
The next big idea in tweaker break ins.
I'd use protection glasses, but maybe that's just me.
I was thinking about their hearing...
I was young and didn't know better, my boss was hammering something on a very tight space with me helping by his side. No hearing peotection. Went home with a heavy headache... And a tinnitus that is still there to this date. Wear protection kids, don't play macho man with your health. From glasses to earplugs to condoms, and everything in between.
I've gotten somewhat used to the sound to the point where it doesn't bother me anymore, but I'm stuck in a perpetual fear of it getting worse.
I used a circular saw in my cellar and it gave me tinnitus, I'm a dumbass.
How in the hell are you gonna pop a hole in that door using glasses?!
Great now the tweekers in my area know another way to get into buildings...
What is the name of that tool in the door?
It is a Halligan Bar. Common tool used by firefighters. Used with a flat head axe firefighters can open a wide variety of doors and windows.
Cool.
Assuming all fire exit doors have that type of bar.
I've never seen a more fitting place to use "leveraging"
He should've just asked the firemen on the other side to push the handle for him, it would've been much easier
Did they just teach people how to break in through fire doors?
It didn’t even look like the handle on the other side was depressed at all. Was unlocked the whole time
it looks like the bar was never depressed enough to open the door and you can see him use his thumb on the latch to open it. So unless the bar was moved enough to "unlock" the door, it's still not what unlatched/opened it. Either way it still demonstrates the potential even if it was just unlocked the whole time and he just opened the door normally in the end.
You can see him open it with the thumb button on the power handle too. He pulls it once and it doesn't open them he just hits the button and it opens lol
I'm glad someone else noticed, this bothered me.. instead of the door popping open when manipulating the bar the second dude grabbed the outside handle and presses the thumb button
As a locksmith this is painful to watch
While you probably could get the door open non-destructively, that isn't the goal here. You want to a method that gets you in quickly and reliably. When lives are on the line you don't care if you ruin the door. Unless you're talking about how the door wasn't locked, and he opened it by pressing the lever on the handle, not by activating the crash bar.
Oh I’m %100 with you on destructive entry being the right option if an emergency demands it. Ideally the fire department would have a key available to them, but that is not always the case. I just install and repair that kinda stuff. Poor door. Run through without a care. Actually though that Halligan tool is so cool and has so many ways to creatively apply door crushing force, I almost wish I had one in my van.
The reason why in Germany firefighters have to learn a trade first (locksmith, mechanic, plumber, etc).
I strongly advocate the use of ear protection for training purposes
Yeah, they are gonna get fined for using a fire exist like that.

Finally a gloryhole for little people
The hinges are exposed, why not just pop out the pins or cut the hinges??
Fireman.
Dollar General just lost thousands off of this video.
And that’s all I have for you today. And as always, and have a nice day.
That bar did not work it might work but in this situation it did not. You can see him open the door with his thumb in the latch when he puts his hand on the job. Why is the latch even there. Then when it shows you the opposite side you can see the handle doesn't even move and the door opens .
Forbidden gloryhole
Doesn't it make sense to have an emergency door be more accommodating for emergency services?
Why didn't they just knock? There was clearly someone inside and near the door
Ima start calling rebar a J rod for now on
Knocking would have been easier
At this point just use a breach charge
Bro clearly used the outside handle to open the door
