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

You haven't worked much with metal, have you?
After all that, only to find said door was welded to it's frame on the other side.
bump rob.i.am Hole in the wall is much easier and doesn't harm the door or frame. win.
Your security measures were inadequate.
How unfortunate for you. |

I'm hoping to cash in on people's experiences or words of wisdom with this hypothetical scenario.

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:http://www.s...5-beb6fca280a5.jpg
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!

Haha. This is not sounding so hypothetical anymore. I don't know if I would be posting that you were actually trying to break into something. I mean, this could just be to get into a friends garage that you lost the keys to... wink. Just sayin'

| | | | If they are supposed panic bar doors with the handles on the other side, then someone built them wrong. The door closer is always on the inside of the door way (the side with the panic bar). Personally I'd jam the pins out and kick the door to make it bounce back and fall. A step further than that, before I go through such a door, I place a rock in the door jamb to keep from being in said situation. Just some precautionary measures I take to not find myself in a pickle.
If your boots aren't muddy and your pants aren't ripped you did something wrong.

| | | | If we are getting all hypothetical and talking tons of crazy equipment, why not just get the J-bar that you can stick under the door to push the pushbar with? It's not exactly small, but it's nondestructive and fast.

| | | | Djdraco's right. If the door has the push bar on the same side as the hinge, it's built wrong. Is there a lock you could pick? Entry from roof, basement, adjacent rooms? Sometimes it's easier to go through a wall then through the door.
