There is a type of security pin that does not yield to the hinge pin coming out.

One of the doors has the hydraulic door closer but the screws on it are either inaccessible or completely stripped. Fortunately, the hinges are on your side and you can easily remove the pins from the hinges and get a little 'wiggle room' with the door and the door frame.
|
Can't you remove the pins and pull on the door closer?

Hooligan/Halligan, your local FD knows what you mean.
BTW: the brits and aussies jokingly refer to it as a hooligan.

The brits and hooligans is a story on it's own.

Getting warmer.
Your security measures were inadequate.
How unfortunate for you. |

| | | | Once again, I would like to thank every one for the suggestions on how to approach this specific issue.
I picked up some tools and even one of these:
We were able to get the pins out of the hinges but could not for the life of us get the doors out of the frame. After closer inspection, the doors were getting caught on the hinges themselves when we were trying to remove the door from the frame. Its difficult to explain and I didn't take photos unfortunately.
I haven't given up on this place yet but that 4x4 room might as well be Fort Knox for us. I'm sure we could get in, but none of us want to damage the door or the frame.
We had to laugh leaving the hardware store because we seriously looked like we were up to no good. Walked out with a mallet, some nail punches, a nice big pry bar and then the suction cup thing.
Thanks again!

I know what you mean.
Drill out the screws on the hinges, so you can remove them.
A battery operated drill would be fine fine it.

The hinge screws he's referring to are not accessible; they're are covered by the door.

I depends on the hinge type.
If this doesn't work, use a hammer and a screwdriver and hammer them to the side.

|  | | | Pull out the hinge pins, then stick one pin underneath the door, in the gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. Use the lip of the pin to grip the other side of the door from beneath, and pull in. This isn't rocket science, guys. A door's effectiveness is only inversely proportional to how much of a dick you are. If you're a real dick, you'll figure out a way to get through.

Then cold chisel, then cutting torch, etc. fail.

The frame won't be damaged and the door won't be damaged.
He didn't say anything about the hinges.

Ah, good point. So cut or blow a hole in the wall beside the door. The frame won't be damaged and the door won't be damaged.

The hinges you can hammer back in place. If you can build the wall back in place, sure go ahead.
