Mobility

We provide two transporting options to increase the safety and efficiency while reducing the headache of moving and staging your door.

The Wheel System makes a 700 lb. door into a nimble table on wheels. Easy to get up a ramp onto a trailer and even easier to wheel across a parking lot or inside a garage. The wheels are spaced to be cantilevered during the lifting to break up the staging into two separate movements. Two Monster Base Plates accompany the wheel system to create a working platform that increases friction and keeps the door from sliding.

The Forklift Header comes standard on every door. Slots are provided in the header of every door frame so you can easily slide the forks through and move the door to its destination be it across the parking lot or onto a trailer.

 

Versatility

Locking Combinations: 1-3 dowels plus 2 x 2 wood block options with no need for a wedge to stabilize to maintain consistency. Conduit pipe fits in dowel holes, which is ideal for outward opening / commercial door evolutions.

  • Trainable Inward and Outward

  • Ram Extension Hit Plate

  • Sledgehammer Hit Pad

  • 30”, 32”, or 36” width choices prior to production

  • Padlock & Chain capable

  • Crush Prop Straps - Included Standard - for mounting real commercial doors to practice crushing edge

Increase the capabilities of the Catalyst Force Entry Door by switching out the standard mechanical breaching lock mechanism to handle shotgun, kinetic breaching (KBT), explosive and shape charge breaching tactics:

Catalyst Force Entry - Stand Alone before tune up at “The Brickyard” aka “Douglasville” outside of Sacramento, CA. This door underwent classes, academies, and training events for well over 5 years (from what we could tally) before it needed some rehab. As you can see, the lock mechanism and strike plates, along with the alignment of the door is still structurally sound, even the wood door itself survived multiple miss hits.

Durability

The Catalyst Force Entry Door is built to last, plain and simple. It is designed to be maintained by your department without the headache of purchasing more parts from us or scheduling service.

  • AR450 - The Strike Plates run top to bottom the full length of the door allowing the ability to force or strike the door wherever there is YELLOW.

  • Ram Extension Hit Plate - coming standard in all LE door platforms, the Ram Extension Hit Plate increases the surface area for utilizing a ram striking an inward opening door.

  • Flex Tech Jambs - our proprietary design and CAD tested jambs allow for realistic flex (and consistent bounce back) for the realism you would experience in a door.

  • Marine Grade Wood - 7-layer laminate sealed marine grade (“boat”) wood allow for flex and feel of a real door while protection against constant water flow.

  • Total Number of Evolutions - a wood door strategically reinforced with AR450 is longer lasting than metal, the following doors experienced close to 25,000 forcible entry evolutions before needing service.

  • No moving parts - Only nuts, bolts, and washers—and many feet of weld. A wrench and impact gun is all that is needed to maintain gap and tightness for only 2 sized nuts & bolts plus a rubber mallet.

Trainable BOTH inward and outward. Breaching an inward opening side of a Catalyst Force Entry Door - Stand Alone with our in house designed and fabricated ram (35 lbs.).

Consistency

Every evolution can be set up the same way every time for thousands of entries. In other words, the C6 Academy Lock Break Mechanism does not need any wedges/consumables applied in addition to the prescribed 2x2 wood block, 3/4” dowels, or 3/4” metal conduit. Thereby, our lock mechanism can be utilized for testing and certification.

The Flex Tech jambs provide a realistic, consistent flex with each evolution. They will flex and give like a real door and spring back to their original state thousands of times over. In fact, after 10 years, we have yet to experience hearing or witnessing a jamb NOT flexing back as it did when it first came off our production line.

 

Realistic

The result of the previous value-adds of the Catalyst Force Entry Door is that it is the most realistic training door in the market. Through the combination of its design, materials and exhaustive ability to stage out every evolution in your area of operation, the CFED stops being a simulator and becomes a real world replica to ensure the realism needed to be proficient in both tools and skills while on a call.

  • Materials & Design

    • Allow for a durability, long-lasting, consistent product that you can rely on to recreate the scenario needing training every time

  • Functionality

    • The wood door flexes like a real door while retaining its durability

    • The Flex Tech jambs react like a real residential and commercial door

    • The lock mechanism is consistent in housing the consumables and reacts the same each time based on its load

  • Training Evolution Example:

    • Add/subtract the props needed to recreate the sequence of events and skills to be trained

    • Trust the lock mechanism to be set the same each time for testing and standards maintenance

    • Set a real outward opening commercial door with our Crush Prop to effectively cam and crush a metal door. Only then do you get to link a real door to a training door in the strategic sequence of breaching an outward opening commercial door not found in any other door prop.

    • Move and stage out the door alone or inside building to fit the training scenario

    • Use the wheel system to add plywood/sheet-rocked walls for confined space training. Add a tarp and smoke machine to create sensory deprivation training.

  • Result - A training environment that tests all skills, senses, and level of ability to make every first responder better regardless of experience or years on shift.
