Crush Prop Straps
Simulates the first step in forcing an outward opening commercial door: gapping the door off the frame. Since most commercial doors are framed in concrete and do not flex like a residential door, a commercial door has to literally be crushed in order to gap.
Where a crush prop typically comes as its own separate training simulator prop, ours is an included add-on to our Catalyst Force Entry Door that comes free of charge.

Included: saving you upwards of $1500 - $2000 depending on which props you are currently researching
Work a real door. The Crush prop design on our CFED allows you to insert an actual commercial door into the frame of the CFED so you can effectively “feel” an outward opening door when you have to perform the first part of the evolution: gapping the door off the frame. Something that no simulator can replicate as effective as ours.
Forced Tool Proficiency. A sliding block or simulation of a commercial door doesn’t require any tool finesse to properly gap a door. This lack of applied experience only creates false confidence when the real event occurs. By working a real door, tool skills will be forced to adapt and level up.
Application & Experience. When working a real commercial door, you learn the anatomy of how they are welded (likely at the back corner or middle of the door both in regard to the end edge, which is a 1.75" wide section). This can affect tool selection and success at an event.
Curved vs. Straight Adz: war is nearly declared over this topic but the types of questions we get at training events, is whether a curved Adz is better than a straight Adz. Working a real commercial door allows one to decide for themselves. We continually found that the ones dead set on a curved Adz only used it on a simulator and not a real commercial door. A straight Adz makes the turn easier and more efficiently than a curved Adz. Let the debate commence.
