 |  |  |  | Anyone know how to open a Locked Fire Door
< on 5/19/2010 6:34 PM >
|  | | | Does anyone know how to open a locked Fire Door? I know there is a metal bar going into the ground from the door and there is one at the top of the door going into the ceiling. I know they might be hard to push in because they are spring loaded i think but does anyone know any tricks?

| | | | I've spent some time looking at these doors and haven't come up with a good non-destructive method for getting them open, the biggest challenge is applying enough force to push bar to disengage the bolts.
If the door is used regularly you might be able to rig it so it doesn't close properly.

Some of us actually like to leave places intact though so that others don't come along and trash them.
To answer the original question, I was faced with a similar situation. Someone actually solved it by making a small hole in the window just above the door handle. By inserting a tire iron into the hole you could push the panic bar inward and voila...

Agree i would like to leave the place intact and not allow people to get in and trash it.
For the answer that you gave to me that sounds like a GREAT Ideal!!!

| | | | I once tried to open a fire door from both sides and couldn't. If it's been shut tight for a number of years, it may not be possible to open it without leverage (aka crowbar/prybar.)
The only other suggestion is to look for alternative ways in. Above and below. Try getting onto the roof and finding a skylight or window you can get down into.
I was actually referring to this kind: the rolling fire doors you find in old mills and such:
If it's a newer building, which by your description it seems to be ... well they probably did more than just bolt the door shut. It's probably nailed shut on the other side.
Without considerable force or an alternative you are SOL.

| | | | All depends on the door. The 2 I have had luck with are somewhat similar in design. The easiest one for me is the typical California school/financial/hospital door it has a rectangle bar waist level with no large negative space between the door and itself. It has a small (service) screw/bole above the bar towards the center that comes out very easily
after you get the bolt out you have a straight hole through the door in a very good position to slip parachute cord into. Slide enough cord through to reach the floor, pull tightly and poof... More like clank, door open with minimal damage. I have about an 80% success rate with this door.
As for the door that is similar in design but has a "floating" bar on the older structures it's pretty much the same thing but you are hoping for a gap at the top of the door.

Will's suggestion is not necessarily destructive, a lot of these doors open without damaged after enough force is applied, the question is how far do these posts go into the ground and ceiling?
If I was really created in God’s image then when God was a boy he wanted to grow up to be a man, a good man, and when God was a man, a good man, he started telling the truth in order to get honest responses. |
