Your foot exerts more force than your shoulder, and you will be able to direct this force toward the area of the locking mechanism more succinctly with your foot.
Most interior doors have what are called privacy sets. These locks are usually installed on bedrooms and bathrooms and can be locked from the inside when the door is shut, but have an emergency access hole in the center of the door handle which allows entry to the locking mechanism inside. Insert the screwdriver or probe into the handle and push the locking mechanism, or turn the mechanism to open the lock. If you are trying to break down an exterior door, you will need more force.
Exterior doors are of sturdier construction and are designed with security in mind, for obvious reasons. In general, you can expect to see two kinds of latches on outside doors: a passage or entry-lock set for latching and a dead-bolt lock for security. The passage set is used for keeping the door from swinging open and does not lock. The entry-lock set utilizes a dead latch and can be locked before closing the door.
Give the door several well-placed kicks at the point where the lock is mounted. Wrench or pry the lock off the door by inserting the tool between the lock and the door and prying back and forth. Remove the pins from the hinges if the door opens toward you and then force the door open from the hinge side. Get a screwdriver or an awl and a hammer.
Place the awl or screwdriver underneath the hinge, with the pointy end touching the end of the bolt or screw. Using the hammer, strike the other end of the awl or screwdriver until the hinge comes out. They are strong and would need a harder force to break down. Some doors have hardwood in them and require a certain amount of energy to kick down. Most hollow metal doors are much heavier than every other door, and so are the hardest to kick down.
This weight of these doors is due to the reinforcing channels at their ends and the insulating material that it features. Coupled with the lock mounting areas, these doors almost impossible to kick down. You should know that kicking the door away from you is the best way to take it down.
Hence, it will best you check the direction of the hinges. Entries of home buildings and apartments swing inwards while most business complexes have their doors turning outwards. For this kind of outer doors, remove the hinges first. But have in mind that commercial door has hinges with theft-proof pins.
To assume a firm stance, stand a foot away while facing the door. Ensure you have enough room that allows your feet to give a reasonable force. If your leg is too length, try adjusting back a few more feet away from the door, you can try to form a kick to know if the space is okay. For your stance, ensure that your foot is flat on the floor with your knee bent slightly. This stance will give you enough force to make a powerful kick.
Furthermore, the less accurate you kick, the more likely you are to fall when carry out the action. Method 2. Give yourself enough space to extend your leg for a firm kick. You should be able to place your foot flat against the door while keeping your knee slightly bent. Prepare to kick with your dominant foot. This will give you maximum strength and impact. To prepare for the kick, place your dominant leg slightly closer to the door than your other foot. Drive the heel of your standing foot into the ground.
Firmly planting your standing foot will give you stability and let you push your momentum toward the door as you kick.
The steadier you hold yourself, the stronger and more accurate your kick will be. Keep your center of mass slightly in front of your back leg. This way, your body will have some forward momentum toward the door. When you kick, it should feel somewhat like you are "falling into" your target. Don't lean away from the kick, but keep your body upright as much as possible to keep from actually falling forward.
Method 3. Aim for the area above or below the lock. You should never kick the lock itself--instead, kick the door itself just above or below the lock. Kicking the lock could break your foot. Kick with your foot completely flat. As it comes in contact with the door, your foot should remain flat and contact the door straight-on, horizontally not upward. This will help you apply maximum force and protect you from potential injuries.
Keep your leg slightly bent. Never straighten your leg all the way when doing this type of kick. Make sure your leg is still slightly bent when your foot hits the target.
Straightening your leg all the way can cause serious damage to the knee. Listen before kicking a second time. If your first kick makes a dull thud noise, the door is likely made of reinforced material. If this is the case, kicking again will likely not work and may injure you. If you hear a splintering sound like kindling breaking, that means the frame is starting to break.
Try a second or third kick if needed. How do I bust it down with one kick? And what should I do if I want it to be silent? To bust it with one kick, you must be very strong or the door has to be very weak. There is simply no other way. Also, there is absolutely no way you can make it silent. Not Helpful 9 Helpful Make sure you apply enough force to knock down that door.
Make sure you're kicking it next to the knob of the door. But be careful, this can injure you badly. Raise one of your legs high enough to the knob, but make sure you're not too far or too close to the door.
Apply all the force you've got into the kick. You might not do it right on the first try, it will take time and practice. Only do this in an emergency, not for fun. Not Helpful 8 Helpful 6. I am stuck in the dining room with the living room door stuck.
I can't get out. What can I do?
