TB FE Flashcards
Inward opening doors- fork of halligan placed approximately _” above or below lock with _ side of fork next to door
6”;
Bevel slightly canted toward floor or ceiling (Resistance met- bevel to door jamb)
What method is used to open Mortise locks after the cylinder has been removed?
5 o’clock to 7 o’clock principle (keyway is always your 6 o’clock position). If this doesn’t work continue rotating to 9 o’clock or 3 o’clock
_ is designed to fit into a cavity in the edge of a door
Mortise lock
_ Manufactured to fit on inside of surface of door with cylinder visible from outside
Rim lock
Police locks- stem of cylinder square shaped requiring _
5/32” square key tool- Police locks AKA Vertical bar lock
Double Bar locks- Fox locks are easily recognizable by location of _
Cylinder in center of door- usually covered with metal plate with 4 bolts
How do you force a fox-lock
Halligan shears off top 2 bolts & 1 bottom bolt to expose cylinder. Remove cylinder with K-tool. Use square key tool turning toward bottom bar to unlock
Two types of padlocks are regular & heavy duty. What is the difference
Regular- all padlocks with shackles 1/4” or less and NOT hardened
Heavy duty: padlocks w/shackle of more than 1/4” and hardened
Heavy duty padlock with toe and heel. What does this mean?
Cutting 1 side of shackle will NOT permit removal
NOTE: Bam-Bam can be used on some case hardened locks, but usually ineffective
Padlock Attack Points “PASS”
Point of Attachment, Staple, Shackle
How do you force an American Lock Series
Aluminum oxide blade or torch used to cut staple or point of attachment to wall, then cut through lock about 2/3 up distance from keyway (NOT bottom of lock), cutting into pieces. Remove pin from security gate
Some windows at ground floor level or fire escape will have window gates behind the glass. By attacking the window gate at _ side, the gate is easily forced
Hinge side (opposite locking device)
This lock is not necessarily centered in the door, but easily recognizable by the large plate covering the lock
Multi-lock. 4 bars, 1 in each direction enter door jamb when lock is engaged
Forcing a Multi-lock
Cut a triangle in lower quadrant of door on doorknob side, large enough to fit your arm through, but small enough to NOT cut the bar
_ found on fronts of smaller stores. Recognized by absence of any raising mechanism at drum level
Manually operated door
_ operating mechanism is chain hoist recognized by gear and chain mechanism located at top of door alongside the drum with 1’ of chain visible beneath the housing
Mechanically operated doors
Electronically operated doors contain a motor & related components in a large metal housing _
Outside of installation adjacent to either drum. Electric key to activate operator usually found on bldg wall on either side of door. Power failure- auxiliary hoist mechanism inside operator housing & NOT visible from outside
How can you turn an electronically operated security gate to a manually operated one?
Remove front cover plate & find the roller chain. Cut this chain with bolt cutters & use 2-3 FFs to raise the door
If heavy fire conditions exist and water is needed immediately, make what cut in a security gate
Small triangle below center of door & a stream is directed into the store
Forcing inward opening door- Halligan held with hand at hook end palm _ & hand at fork palm _
Up; Down (only strike when member holding halligan says so)
FF holding axe stands _ to FF with halligan
Opposite side- unless forced to work on same side- wall blocking
Do inward opening doors have hinges on outside
No- use force. Strike axe on solid part of door adjacent to where upper hinge is located
Incorrect for Mortise Locks
A. Fits into a cavity in edge of door & utilizes a cam that slides bolt out of strike
B. After pulling cylinder, insert bent end of key tool into lock through cylinder hole w/bent end pointing to approx 5 o’clock & move bolt slide to 7
C. 5 o’clock & 7 o’clock position will always be found toward bottom of cylinder
D. If after dead bolt retracted (5 to 7) & latch is still in locked position, continue rotating key tool until contact is made w/spring loaded latch lever which is usually located at 9 & 3 o’clock
C (6 o’clock)
Correct for Rim locks
A. Made to fit on inside of surface of door w/cylinder visible from outside & use a cam principle similar to mortise lock
B. If for any reason you cannot insert key tool into stem (shutter present) or turn the key tool (night latch thrown), place the point of halligan in cylinder hole & drive lock off door
C. Police locks AKA vertical bar locks, stem of cylinder is square shaped requiring a special 5/16” square key tool
B
The "Police Lock" is readily determined by observation. The ring holding the tumbler in place will be almost flush with the door. On the inside, the lock has a metal rod extending down into a metal receptacle in the floor. This receptacle is about \_\_\_\_ from the door so that the rod is placed at an angle from the lock. A: 1ft B: 2ft C: 3ft D: 4ft
B TB FE 2 1.4 B
Incorrect for forcing Outward opening doors
A. Method used is determined by the type of lock cylinder encountered
B. Flush fitting doors may be forced utilizing either the adz or fork end of the halligan tool
C. When using the fork end of the halligan on a flush fitting door place the concave side of the fork against the door, tool canted slightly for initial penetration
D. When forcing a flush fitting door with adz end of the halligan, place the adz end 6” above/below the lock & drive it into the space between the door & jamb without penetrating the jamb. Pry downward & out with the fork end of the tool
A Method used to force outward opening doors is determined by position of the door in the frame
3.1
Incorrect for Window Gates
A. Single windows &/or window locks can be forced by placing the fork end of the halligan under the center of the window sill & applying a downward pressure on halligan
B. Attack a window gate at the lock side, opposite hinges
C. Forcing or kicking in a window gate could result in jamming the gate
D. Protect-A-Guard window gates are easily opened from the inside. If necessary to force this type of gate, members should concentrate on hinge side
B Attack on Hinge side
