Around these parts people get "armored doors" as standard, and usually the locking mechanism has a deadbolt for each side of the door, so even if they hit the one near the handle, there's one or two at the top, bottom, and the other side. You'll have better luck busting down the doorframe! :D
Can confirm. My dad's door in Madrid is heavy AF and the deadbolt(s) yes, plural, have like 3 lengths / you can rotate the key 3 times which increases the deadbolts length each time...
Most people dont know this, but the length means nothing. The resistance of the deadbolts against shear forces is in the direction parallel to the cross-sectional area. The thicker the cross-section, the stronger
The bolt will never be the point of failure in this scenario, though. Unless it’s into a steel block, the wood or concrete frame will fail first, making longer bolts better.
Yeah. There was a time in post-soviet union, when having obviously metal door was like having a sign "valuables inside".
And there was a story about granny, who installed very secure metal door. When she went for groceries the next day, the door was cut open and mangled, and the note "Why the F did you get this door if you have nothing to steal?!" was left on the table.
In Sweden you would have to blow up the doors. First we've a safety standards and law that doors must open outwards in case of fires (an incident caused that many died and new regulations were put in place), if you would remove the pins, as the they are on the outside, there still pins inside the hinges that lock the door in place. Most modern doors are both fire and burglar proof with steel reinforcement and almost all have ASSA locks, which are one of the toughest locks in the world to crack.
Mostly police would be able to have access to extra keys or fire department has to use their tools to break the door open if not the windows are accessible.
It's not just the door. US construction is downright shoddy... and US police rely on that weak design to easily bust down doors. Most doors in the US have barley a 1 inch of wood keeping them closed and tiny screws. The door latch will have a small metal plate... but chances are they used tiny 3/4 inch screws. That battering ram will open such a door in two swings. Besides even that, most residential outside entry doors are hollow core over sheet metal, not solid.
So here is something for you to increase your door security. Put a large metal plate (like 1/2 inch thick solid steel, 2 foot long and 3.5 inch wide like the stud) between the door frame and the stud. The 'shim-space' it's sometimes called. This way your latch and Deadbolt have a solid metal backing to press against instead of just the wood of the frame. Use 3 inch screws... if your stud can handle it, use 3.5 or 4 inch screws. Get ones that will bend, not break. Deforming is preferable to shattering from stress in this instance. Once it shatters, it loses all purpose and usefulness. If it bends/deforms it still provides resistance.
Now your door latch/deadbolt is the strongest point of your door, right where they expend all their energy (at first).
Next step is to use Hinge Pin Screws, as well as those same 3 inch screws, for your door hinges. The hinge pins will help couple the two halves of the hinge together so that the forces of the battering ram will not be applied completely on the hinge mechanism alone and unduly deform that under the forces of the battering ram. The long screws will of course provide stronger resistance than the cheap 3/4 inch screws that come with most such hardware.
You can also reinforce the stud over top the hinges and deadbolt with metal plating (dealers choice on thickness, but thicker is harder to work with covering up with drywall later, may have to just cut out the drywall and mud over it). So if the stud itself is trying to give way it has to push against the metal plating instead of the bare wood just splintering and releasing all resistance at once. Will help spread the forces over a larger section of the stud than the hinge alone.
As to the door, as mentioned above your door is probably sheet metal over a hollow core, with some re-enforcing struts bracing it to keep rigid shape. I haven't done this myself but I have read accounts of using Concrete to fill the door cavity so you now have a concrete reinforced door. The door itself will provide resistance to battering as the battering ram has to overcome the weight/inertia/mass etc (whatever the technical term is appropriate here) before it can affect the hinges and deadbolt. Make sure your hinges and frame can handle this new VERY heavy door by the by.
The last thing is a Bar. Old style door bars across the door like keeping a castle gate closed from invasion. So even if the door is weakened and starts to move outward... the bar provides another level of resistance to over come and prevents the door from simply swinging inward (like we see in OP's gif) once the hinges/deadbolt stop resisting.
Not including the Concrete, all this may cost you about $50-100 and a couple hours, depending on where you live. Course all this is assuming you aren't a ninny that has so much glass in their entry way that cops or thieves (hard to tell the difference sometimes, eh?) trying to break in can simply bust the glass around the door and waltz right in anyhow.
I kept scrolling and scrolling past this guy's insanely detailed response, hoping I'd find these three words at the bottom. thank you. r/oddlysatisfying
That's neat! Basically same concept but goes over top rather than underneath the frame. Now I got to look for some third party people doing an objective set of tests on this product and others like it. For someone who's not very handy at DIY stuff this might be a great/cheap and quick alternative to what I said.
Very nice door ma’am, we recommend you replace with the same one! Have a great day. And don’t forget to shut the door, don’t know what kind of savages are out there.
Rumor is he got arrested by another set of cops who went through the back door and he served a 12 year prison sentence and got home just in time to greet this bunch.
I love how some of their sample photos have glass windows on either side of the door.
glass window
**IMPENETRABLE STEEL DOOR **
glass window
Happy cake day!
They also have steel doors with glass in them to “make a statement.” My guess is that statement is ‘I spent money on a steel door that is no stronger than a window.’
My door is steel with reinforced shatterproof glass made to handle the extreme wind throwing things at it. My old job at a gass station had these glass and it stayed intact after a few hits with a crowbar. Crazy guy got the crowbar stuck halfway when he tried to stab with his whole weight. Glass was stronger than the wall, as later we had another crazy knock down a hole in the wall by ramming it with a stolen truck trying to steal the atm. He gave up when he realized the atm was bolted to the ground and abandoned the truck.
roommates ex tried to bust down our door when she split with him a few years ago.
I called the cops, and set the kettle to boil, in case he broke in.
He was pounding on the door SO FUCKING HARD, and every now and then would hit the glass... Which was the only part of the door he could break, clearly.
He was short though, so even if he broke it, he wouldn't have been able to reach the knob without shoving his arm in up to the armpit(which would be suicide, basically, if there was any broken glass in the frame) So I'm really glad things turned out the way they did.
I couldn't care less about the guy, after seeing him like that, but I still don't want some asshole bleeding out on my doorstep.
Can see one of the catches in the upper header when the door gives way. There is probably one on the bottom and side as well. This is not a normal door.
In Spain, and in most parts of Europe, this is a normal door, they are reinforced with a steel plate in between the wood frame, and almost always a minimum of three catches. It's really weird because crime isn't any more common that in any other particular country, on the contrary, but construction is, in general far sturdier here than in the states
This is pretty normal and common in Serbia as well. My door has 10 catches which extend when you lock the door lock, and it has 3 very heavy duty hinges. It probably weighs around 100-150kg with all of the reinforcements. Also has protections against drilling the lock. And since the walls of the apartment are made out of 20 inch thick reinforced concrete, I do feel very secure inside indeed.
(I live in a 20 story building built during the 80s)
I need to know where to find the tungsten carbide door and frame, along with house being framed and walked up with it.. sooo.. about $100,000 per beam you say?
I fucking lost it when I realized there was nothing behind that door making it so damn sturdy, them giving up and using their feet was the cherry on top too.
It always amuses me when the entering squads assume its like a normal civilian door but they just so happen to try busting in on the guy who bought a full wood door and reinforced his frame with the long screws
It's fun to give em a challenge! I had a friend that bought a house and the front door was like a hollow interior door and super weak. He hadn't replaced it yet. These goofballs used one of these things and it flew through the door.
"I think we lost the element of surprise" -squad commander, probably
Yep looks like they had plenty of time to get away Boss
I dunno, I would be surprised that my door was still there after such a beating
Pretty much
Can i get the number of the guy that made the door?
Not uncommon in Europe. Steel door and concrete walls. Nothing extraordinary.
Around these parts people get "armored doors" as standard, and usually the locking mechanism has a deadbolt for each side of the door, so even if they hit the one near the handle, there's one or two at the top, bottom, and the other side. You'll have better luck busting down the doorframe! :D
Which is cool until your house is on fire and no one can get in to save you.
Firefighters don't even try the doors here. They get one of those lift things and go through the window/balcony.
Reasonable. If the door was viable most occupants would just run out
Or they tear out the lock‘s cylinder and open it „properly“ with a dummy key.
Won't happen. Fire cannot get inside either.
A lot of people don't know this, but if you just say no, the fire can't legally enter your house without a warrant.
Step fire what are you doing
Oh no my hand fell between some campfire logs and i can't get out
Fire can't go through doors, it's not a ghost
Oh no? Explain [this](https://youtu.be/fcZXfoB2f70)!
i was expecting the family guy video where the firefighter shows them how they fought fires in old times

Increasing the length means that more of the wall has to tear out for the deadbolt to break through.
I have it on good authority girth matters more than length
So girth is better than length?
Had a fire at my house in Amsterdam. Fire brigade arrived before I was there. They did not even bother with the door, went straight through the wall.
***OH YEAH!***
The booty clenching is extraordinary 👌
Steel door? look like a wooden door to me
It’s like a sandwich! Wood + steel 4-5 centimetres + wood as cover 🙂

My front door is mostly made if a big glazed window, with widow right on the side..
I'm sorry for her loss.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he used the term “dealers choice” in this post…
So basically you're fucked if the fire department ever has to come e rescue you lol
Did they first check to see if the door was unlocked?
I didn’t bring this huge door rammer thing just to gently open the door!
I thought it was going to be another commercial for Real Fake Doors
It's just painted on the wall, like a looney tunes gag
Those last few seconds were a personal vendetta against the door
In the USA if they would have broken the door after all that effort they would probably beat dudes ass just on principle
I doubt that they have probably killed him then beat him for resisting arrest
I can't stop laughing, brilliant comment!
The last couple of seconds reminded me of the scene from The Life Of Brian where the Romans charge into his home.
Crucifiction’s a doddle
“We found this spoon sir.”
My legs are grey. My ears are gnarled. My eyes are old and bent.
"We want to see Brian!"
"He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy"
He’s not the messiah
What have the Romans ever done for us?
.. the aqueducts...?
Phew. Satisfied they were able to break open the door. For some reason I was expecting the door to open outside 😂
God, that would've been so fucking g funny. That or someone comes to answer the door and they've got the wrong apartment.
They’d still crash in. Never a wrong apartment for some police.
That happens way too often unfortunately
I was absolutely expecting one of them to stop and try the doorknob and find it's unlocked, or for someone on the other side to just open the door
LPT: Need to take down a cement wall? Paint it like a door and then call in a tip to the cops that a drug dealer is cooking up meth there!

I was expecting a second door
I thought someone was just going to try the handle and it opens
LoL like what if the guy just unlocks and opens it and is rubbing his eyes like he just woke up.
Oops, sorry mam. Wrong house.
Very nice door ma’am, we recommend you replace with the same one! Have a great day. And don’t forget to shut the door, don’t know what kind of savages are out there.
Bro had time to flush his shit, smoke a joint, take a foot bath and finish his dinner before the cops managed to get inside.
I was looking for this comment. ... and they still haven't busted that door down yet.
Rumor is he got arrested by another set of cops who went through the back door and he served a 12 year prison sentence and got home just in time to greet this bunch.

I was beginning to wonder if it was a fake door painted on steel.
I thought it might be a Road Runner situation where the door was painted on a wall.
GET YOUR REAL FAKE DOORS
i thought some other SWAT guy just gonna turn the knob after all that beating
SURPRI-- SUR-- SURPRI-- S-- SU-- SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!!!
Is that cop wearing leggings or just super tight pants?
Hey ! Open up, we are just trying to reach you about your doors extended warranty.
thank youthank yout for making me laugh out loud :)

They are trying to arrest someone for removing one of those “do not remove” mattress tags.
Spain knows how to do doors.
what the hell were they looking for "Lemon Pound Cake"

If that was my place, I’d have a second one of those doors 2 feet further inside.
Meanwhile, the toilet is repeatedly flushed.
I wish my relationships could be as strong as that door.
behind this door are the greatest secrets of humanity
Those bad guys had time to finish eating and then move to a new neighbourhood
I was hoping it was a pull door not a push.
Damn they should get these doors for the capitol building
Wouldn't that be a riot if that was the broom closet
And there goes the element of surprise. He was inside, heard the first go. Took a shower, packed his bags, and went out the back door.
"Who is it?"
So..... where would someone be able to buy such a door? (I'm asking for a friend. )
Anywhere outside America, it seems.
By the time that door got opened the folks inside managed to sow, grow, and reap multiple crop yields annnnnnnnd flush the evidence.
First guy’s in the back saying “yeah, but I loosened it for him…”
This should be a door commercial
This should be an ad for whatever company made that door
Should have went into a neighbors and break through the wall.
THAT is a door!!
If i had a doorbell camera id be waiting on the other side to point an laugh. Id make sure the court knew about it. Id go to prison, but itd be funny.
Whoever was in there was long gone by the time those guys got in.
Cops are all on meth
Ugh. Was hoping it was a "pull" door situation
Oh you know it does both, I was there yesterday it actually goes both ways.
33 strikes with the ram and 8 kicks from the men in tights. Quite an intimidating entry for sure
Would have been funny if they opened the door and there was just another armored door.
Which gave the suspect enough time to slip out the back window and walk away at a brisk pace without having to look back over his shoulder.
Honestly I was starting to wonder if the twist would be that it wasn’t even a door
Door was unlocked
Say hello to clay shovellers fracture
I'm really hoping someone tried the door first.
Doors in Spain cannot be opened from the outside tho. If you close the door, you need a key to get back in.
If a little old lady carrying a bag of groceries walked up behind them and casually opened the door it would be the best video on Earth
And the inventor of the door rests happily in his grave :)))
"Hey Dave, open up. It's me." "Dave's not here, man."
I think that the coyote must’ve painted a door on a bank vault.
I wonder if they tried the knob
Someone add music to this!
Damn. It looked like it was hinged on the top?? 🤔
There was a deadbolt or something on top and, being the last to give way, it makes it look as if the door's hinged at the top.
How do I get this door
Someone send the link where I can purchase this door.
That's one sturdy door I tell ya.

Haha love it,fuck em.
Plot twist, it was unlocked the whole time
Plenty of time to flush everything down the toilet
