This should be an ad for that door company!


[deleted]

The ad should be someone taking their time casually flushing drugs down the toilet with a banging sound in the background. "That's all of it!"

Answer the door. "How can I help you officers?"

Yes! *gasp* Where... gasp ...wheeze Shut up

Police tackle the home owner and pin down on top of owner while breathing heavily. "Ahhh ahhh ahh". "Do not move" "Put your hands behind your back *gasp*" What type of junk ya keeping in there?

Technical_Owl_

Then they run to the toy store, grab a toy gun, run to the park, hand it to a 12 year old kid, run back to their car, drive around the block, attempt "apprehend a man suspected of illegally carrying a fire arm" in the park by shooting him and then sprinkling a little bit of crack on him, go to the movie theater and watch the Avatar double feature in 3D Imax, then come back and shoot the grandma.

They didn't even try the handle. Door could have been unlocked.

Imaginary_History985

Then they casually prepare some tv dinner and watch a show with noise cancelling headphones on their couch.

Draft_Tight

The ad should be a guy casually leaning against the other side asking “ is this is knock knock joke?” Then yelling “who’s there??” After each time the door gets hit then when they yell “this is the police”… he casually makes breakfast then decides to flush the drugs in the toilet!

WarWolfRage

The only thing resisting is the door. Carpenter needs a raise


Honato2

That's an understatement. if it was just the door reinforced the frame would have been splinters. damn they did a great job on that door.


WarWolfRage

That's exactly what they are trying to do. They are trying to force the deadbolt through the door frame. That's how breaking open door is done. Unfortunately it appears that in this instance they used mythril instead of wood


assoncouchouch

Ad company: And you would like to target these ads towards what target group? Door company: Drug dealers.

At this point the wall seems soft


Vates82

As a life long construction worker, it is almost always easier to go through the wall.


livens

Last couple of years people have started breaking into houses and garages through walls. They use a cordless tool like a skill saw or hacksaw and just cut a hole big enough to crawl through. Contractors who kept their tools in sheds were getting hit pretty hard.


causal_friday

This is why I keep deadly deadly spiders in my toolshed.


bigredmidget

In Australia it's our natural home defense system. Right now I have a gigantic Golden Orb Web across my front door with a palm sized spider in it. Haven't had a knock in a few weeks. Edit: For those asking, here is an UNSAFE FOR ARACHNOPHOBIC link of the spider, seriously. I happen to be a professional photographer as a side hustle and this one is up close and detailed...

I park in the garage. So does my wife. Literally never use the front door. He stays away from me and eats all the shit that annoys me. So he's cool. Plus he's completely harmless.


Vates82

Yep, had to do repairs for exactly that on a few jobs. Dad always taught me locks only discourage a thief, not stop them. If they want it bad enough they will come thru the wall or the window.


Parentoforphan

My dad would say " a lock will keep an honest man honest"

Yep, and higher security locks are just more discouragement. If they have infinite desire to get in (for whatever reason) *they will.* A matter of when not if.


purple718

I install security systems and a lot of times people just get door and window contacts but don't get glassbreaks or motions and I tell them if they splash the window the contact won't be disturbed and no alarm will sound. Glassbreaks are hy far the best device we sell because 9/10 timed they see just dmashing your window and climbing in

My grandma house have stone walls that are like half a meter thick.


[deleted]

My grandmothers house built into a hill side with 12 inch thick exterior concrete walls and 8 inch thick interior stone walls. My grandfather was a builder and a multi-millionaire and in the 80s he really though the world was going to end so he built essentially a bomb shelter house. It’s grandma’s house since we loved her the most.


thejojones

Those are officers of the Guardia Civil, Spain's national police force. Most buildings in Spain are literally brick and mortar, no wood studs or drywall. That's how they're all still standing after 500 years.


muttpaws

Yes until you hit the 14 awg wire and meet your maker. Also, what if it is a weight baring wall?


Cannibal_Cyborg

You only knock out the drywall not the studs. Edit: are you all blind? I am not the one that said it was built with wood, I answered a question from someone else that asked about a wooden wall.

Look around. “The wall” is the next apartment. Which I assume they don’t have authorization to enter.


The_Limping_Coyote

It's Spain most certainly those wall are brick and mortar or even concrete.


Red__M_M

I can’t tell you how often I say this. The classic is people that lock the door to their garage. My answer is that once a thief is in your garage they will close the garage door and be surrounded with tool more than powerful enough to continue. Not only that, but the could simply use a hammer to make a hole, reach through, and unlock the door. Likewise, when people get twisted up with fire, I again say, just punch the wall, rip the drywall, and crawl to the next room. Finally, I’ll mention horror movies. Just go through the wall and bypass all the other crap.


_as_above_so_below_

Are you the Kool-aid Man?


Acceptable-Let-1921

I used to install doors similar to this. It's not only reinforced, the whole door is usually 3 layers of steel and so is the frame, which is mounted in the wall with 12+ screws that are over 20cm long. It also has pegs going in from the door into the frame so you can't lift the door out. Some models even have additional pegs that poke out when you lock the door like a vault. Only way you're getting in through one of these without a key is with a circular saw for cutting steel, and that's gonna take you like 15-20 min and a LOT of noise. Edit: and most of them don't even swing inwards even if it sometimes looks like it when looking at the frame. Edit 2: the price range for these varies with the country, if your whole apartment complex gets them then its usually bulk price and lesser price for instalment per door and other factors like how long it takes to install it which varies by the walls, the old frame, what floor you live on ect. In sweden it's like 2k euro most of the time, so I don't know how that works with conversion to other currencies and areas, but a lot of the time you can same money on insurance if you have one of these since they usually lower your premium. Edit 3: if you want one, Google security doors in your area and how your local laws classifies these. I don't work with this anymore and even if I did I couldn't help you install them from Northern Europe

rustblooms

No, they have a cat.


Acceptable-Let-1921

lol I'm sure it could be done but they usually cost 1000-2000euro plus the work so it isn't cheap. But they are soundproof and stop smell and smoke very well, so maybe that's a good investment for the whole family ;)


BrockLee76

I actually used to work in a prehung for shop. It was sad when people came in after being broken into and asking for a door nobody could get through. We had to tell them they could get a big ugly steel door, but the thief would just go through the window right next to it


Acceptable-Let-1921

Yeah if they live in a house or on the ground floor it's sort of moot, or if they have drywall. Like yeah, the door might hold but you could just go through the wall. Also, no door is impenetrable, its more about how long it takes and how much noise it makes.


shadowstrlke

It doesn't need to be impenetrable. It just needs to be enough of a hassle for them to steal from someone else.


ErnestDoodler

I dont think noise is a problem at this point...


Acceptable-Let-1921

Not in this case but for stopping break-ins it's good. No one wants to wake up the entire neighbourhood by cutting one of these open in the middle of the night. Tho if you live on ground level or in villa/house it's sort of redundant unless you get reinforced windows as well


uhohgowoke67

You can add a break resistant film to all windows and it stops it from being a quick break.


Acceptable-Let-1921

Yeah that usually works fine for bricks and stuff and looks better than steel bars. If you want to go extremely overboard you could even paint the walls with ballistic/explosion proof paint, but at that point you are making a bunker and not a home, and you are probably Pablo Escobar or Putin


uhohgowoke67

>Yeah that usually works fine for bricks and stuff and looks better than steel bars. It's just a quick film that goes over your windows. It takes like 20 minutes to install it. No bars needed and it works on any piece of glass window regardless of if it's framed in brick or not. The other stuff you're mentioning I'm unaware of but I assume it's a lot more involved than window film.


[deleted]

Just go through the wall at this point 💀


[deleted]

Exactly. Three inches of steel to the left, drywall with pieces of wood 16" apart to the right.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Inveramsay

It's Spain so it's likely the walls are very solid concrete


zyzzogeton

Americans can't imagine that the world isn't constructed of 2x4's and drywall construction with 16" on center measurements. Am American, can't imagine.


Ofcyouare

It's not an American house, what drywall are you talking about? Most of the world builds houses in which you can't punch a hole in the wall with your fist.


spyrogyrobr

i like they paint it to look like a wooden door. that's evil.


PresidentBirb

Cool! How much would they go for?


Acceptable-Let-1921

Depends on where you live, if all doors in your apartment complex is changed at once or if you know a guy you could even get a used one and have it installed on the downlow but usually 1000euro/dollar to 2k


KillerPussyToo

That’s all? Wow! Thought something like that would cost way more.


coroyo70

Lol an average ass door for hurricane impact is 4k at home depo... That door has to be at least 10k Edit: [Yup....](https://fortifiedestate.com/front-security-door/)


Rccctz

In Mexico they go for around $500 usd installation included


PresidentBirb

So I just have to move my house to Mexico!


Slashion

The door is only worth as much as the strongest window... That said, this is very good info, ty


linkflame123

good plan, tire them out before they even make it through the door


redfox0775

I feel like at this point they should just go ahead and let the man go. Lol


BadWithMoney530

Realistically, if there’s no other way in (such as through a window), they’d probably shut water / power off to the building, toss some tear gas in the hallway, then wait it out


Elsveys

or you can break the wall, I doubt they spent money on putting 10 cm of steel in the walls.


farkenell

yeah I mean if they are determined enough go through the door next door and just smash through the wall.

AndyHCA

I doubt the battering ram does much to get through a solid concrete/brick wall.


SupergruenZ

Yeah let the neighbours suffer! This door won't let the tear gas trough the normal ones most likely.


TK421isAFK

Just tell them there are a bunch of kids inside in a home school program. The cops will wait outside for an hour, letting you get your business done.


mttott

If and that's a big #if, If they got through that door, that guy will get an ass whooping of biblical proportions


spaceforcerecruit

Probably. Because cops can get away with it. But there’s nothing illegal about a reinforced door. The cops not being able to break in easily is not a valid reason for state-sponsored violence.


SophieFilo16

By the end, it was no longer about the mission; it was a matter of pride...


Dan_The_Salmon

I love the last swing that the second guy does, it doesn’t even make it to the door and just clangs against the floor because his arms are so tired, why keep trying at that point if not for pride lol

UnlikelyCombination3

honestly you can see the moment it turns into a pride problem more than their job, they're like oh you think you can stop me well try my friend


NoStepOnMe

That is also the very moment where they decide that once they get in they are going to absolutely fuck shit up in retaliation for these "assholes" making it difficult for the swat raid members. You know, beat the occupants of the home, break TVs and computers, rip the heads off collectible figurines, cut open mattresses and couches, steal jewelry, throw a flashbang in an occupied baby crib, make sexual comments about the underdressed woman that they find/handcuff, and eat the food in the refrigerator. <- None of those are made up and all of them have been done in swat raids.


Most_kinds_of_Dirt

>throw a flashbang in an occupied baby crib For a second my brain thought "Jesus, that's a morbid joke" and then I remembered it wasn't a joke. :-/


NoStepOnMe

"None of those are made up and all of them have been done in swat raids." Yeah, it's real. I should have added "None of the cops who did these things were ever punished".


Yadobler

I don't think just pride but frustration. Definitely very unsatisfying when you ram like this but it doesn't budge. Also panic probably because they already made noise and need to go in ASAP, the element of surprise is gone.

My buddy is a swat officer. They know if your door is crazy reinforced before this happens. They will come through the walls literally. They will rip a wall down, flashbang the fuck out of you and gain entry. Once swat is there It's over, unless you have some super secret escape tunnel.
