“Forcible Entry Equipment produces the best forcible entry props in the fire service. These props provide realistic forcible entry training for all skill levels. Our Irons have never gotten so much use. The solid, built to last construction has provided countless reps on inward and outward doors. The props use common ¾” dowels and 2x2’s which make them easy and inexpensive to reset. Critical fire ground operations can not be accomplished in a timely manner unless firefighters are proficient in gaining entry. Forcible Entry Equipment has allowed our firefighters to hone the craft of forcible entry! ”
— Captain Phil Corsi, Ventura County Fire Department
“Trust: I have been working with Chuck Ferry at Forcible Entry Equipment for more than 5 years now and I have found that FEE always stands behind their product 100%. Chuck is always quick to respond to questions or needs as they arise.
Quality: The product is extremely durable, and the props’ components allow for extremely fast resetting and are very affordable to maintain top working order. The ability to replace components separately as needed is a huge benefit. I have seen the product withstand multiple uses during training sessions and the feel is very realistic.
Knowledge/Experience: Chuck and Forcible Entry, Inc. understand the props plus how to do the techniques in the real world which allows them to produce a great product while offering great training as well. I highly recommend the Forcible Entry Equipment tools.””
— Steve Reno, Seattle Metro Fire Department
“I ordered my own personal Halligan after training with Forcible Entry, Inc.”

“Two weeks later, the fellas here are still talking about how badass your course was to take! ”

“Forcible Entry, Inc. provides the tools necessary for firefighters to master their craft. The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District is fortunate to have purchased multiple props including two Catalyst Force Entry Doors, Commercial Cutting Door, and the RUD (roll-up door prop). With the purchase of these props, it has reinforced the proficiency and confidence level with conventional forcible entry skills. It has provided continued year round training for crews, new academies, and our firefighter reserve program. In return, we make the commitment and dedication to continuous self-improvement and strive for excellence. What once seemed like a lost art, has now become an industry standard and practice when it comes to forcible entry training.”
— Damien Alvarez, SRVFPD Forcible Entry Cadre
“After one day of training with Chuck I learned more about manual breaching and use of the Halligan than I’ve learned in the multiple SWAT and breaching courses I’ve been to. I’d recommend any SWAT team member or police officer who has to perform tactical entries to attend Forcible Entry, Inc.’s courses.”
— Dean, Richmond SWAT Team officer, Richmond, CA
“The CAL FIRE / San Mateo County Fire Department added a dedicated Truck Company two years ago. Prior to placing our truck in service, Chuck came out and delivered his Forcible Entry training to our members. His expertise and instructional delivery was vital to the early development of our program. The design, workmanship, quality, durability and customization options makes Forcible Entry Equipment training props arguably the best on the market. Since our Truck Program’s inception, we have developed a two-week Truck Academy that we deliver twice a year. We now own two doors from Forcible Entry Equipment. These doors allow us to provide a realistic training experience that we can tailor to any skill level. Resetting the doors between reps is easy and uses minimal materials. These doors can take a serious beating and their design allows for easy repairs should the need arise. I highly recommend any product that Chuck and his team provide at Forcible Entry Equipment.”
