A training device is described for perfecting the art of forcibly opening a door in an emergency. The training device has a frame and a door placed in the frame. A dead bolt is mounted in the door and protrudes from the door in a locked position relative to the frame. A vise is attached to the frame. The vise has a movable jaw mounted on a block and a stationary jaw, and means for tightening the movable jaw against the dead bolt. The dead bolt protrudes from the door between the stationary and movable jaw. A method of using the training device causes the door to pivot and the dead bolt to move off of the vise, thus simulating an actual forced opening.

1. A method for learning and perfecting the art of forcibly opening a locked door in an emergency, the method comprising: selecting a training device comprising: a frame having a header and a rectangular shaped saddle;a door placed in the frame, and having a first and a second edge perpendicular to the header and saddle;a lock rail attached to the door and having an opening;a dead bolt having a proximal end mounted in the door through the opening and a distal end extending out of the first edge in a locked position relative to said frame;a surface adjacent to the dead bolt;means for tightening the surface against said dead bolt;a rod attached to the second edge, the rod havingan upper and a lower end, the upper end movably mounted to the header and the lower end mounted to the saddle;adjacent to said second edge, means for tensioning said door about said dead bolt;a grate pivotally mounted to the rectangular shaped saddle; andtwo wheels attached to each of the short sides of said rectangular saddle, wherein the two wheels on one of the short sides are each mounted on a swivel to form a caster;step for bracing said training device;positioning a person adjacent to the first edge and within an arm's length of the door;wedging a tool between the frame and said first edge of said door, and above or below the dead bolt;securing the tool between said frame and said door by striking its proximal end;rotating said tool;causing said door to initially pivot about said dead bolt; andmoving said dead bolt off of the surface. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the step for bracing comprises: pivoting the grate to a position about perpendicular to said door and standing on said grate. 3. A training device comprising: a frame having a header and a rectangular shaped saddle, and two vertical sides;a jamb an each vertical side of the frame;a door placed in the frame, and having a first and a second edge perpendicular to the header and rectangular shaped saddle;a lock rail attached to the door and having a first opening;a dead bolt having a proximal end mounted in each door through the first opening, and a distal end protruding from said door in a locked position relative to said frame;a rod attached to the second edge and havingan upper and a lower end, the upper end of each rod movably mounted to the header and the lower end of each rod mounted to the saddle;a vise having a movable jaw mounted on a block, and a stationary jaw, the vise attached to the jamb on each vertical side such that the dead bolt is protruding from the door and between the stationary and movable jaw;means for tightening said movable jaw against said dead bolt;adjacent to said second edge, means for tensioning said door about said dead bolt, wherein the means for tensioning is a coil spring, such that said door initially pivots about said dead bolt as it is being forcibly opened;a grate pivotally mounted to said rectangular shaped saddle; andtwo wheels attached to each of the short sides of said rectangular saddle, wherein the two wheels on one of the short sides are each mounted on a swivel to form a caster. 4. The training device of claim 3 wherein said movable jaw is wedge-shaped relative to the block. 5. The training device of claim 4 wherein said block has a proximal end adjacent to the means for tightening, and the proximal end has a second opening. 6. The training device of claim 5 wherein the means for tightening comprises: a shaft having a distal end mounted in the second opening, and the shaft has an external screw thread and means for rotating said shaft. 7. The training device of claim 6 wherein the means for tightening comprises: a housing attached to said frame, the housing having a third opening with an internal screw thread to accommodate the external screw thread of said shaft. 8. The device of claim 3 wherein the lock rail has a proximal end. 9. The device of claim 8 wherein the coil spring abuts the proximal end of said lock rail. 10. A training device comprising: a frame having a header and a rectangular shaped saddle, and two vertical sides;a jamb on each vertical side of the frame;a left hand and a right hand inswing door placed in the frame, each door having an interior edge;a lock rail attached to each door and having a first opening;a dead bolt having a proximal end mounted in each door through the first opening and a distal end protruding from said door in a locked position relative to said frame;a rod attached to each interior edge and havingan upper and a lower end, the upper end of each rod movably mounted to the header and the lower end of each rod mounted to the saddle;a vise having a movable jaw mounted on a block, and a stationary jaw, the vise attached to the jamb on each vertical side such that the dead bolt is protruding from each door and between the stationary and movable jaw;means for tightening said movable jaw against said dead bolt;adjacent to each interior edge, means for tensioning said door about said dead bolt, wherein the means for tensioning is a coil spring, such that said door initially pivots about said dead bolt as it is being forcibly opened;a grate pivotally mounted to said rectangular shaped saddle; andtwo wheels attached to each of the short sides of said rectangular saddle, wherein the two wheels on one of the short sides are each mounted on a swivel to form a caster. 11. The device of claim 10 wherein the lock rail has a proximal end. 12. The device of claim 11 wherein the coil spring abuts the proximal end of said lock rail. 13. The training device of claim 10 wherein said movable jaw is wedge-shaped relative to the block. 14. The training device of claim 13 wherein said block has a proximal end adjacent to the means for tightening, and the proximal end has a second opening. 15. The training device of claim 14 wherein the means for tightening comprises: a shaft having a distal end mounted in the second opening, and the shaft has an external screw thread and means for rotating said shaft. 16. The training device of claim 15 wherein the means for tightening comprises: a housing attached to said frame, the housing having a third opening with an internal screw thread to accommodate the external screw thread of said shaft. 17. A method for learning and perfecting the art of forcibly opening a locked door in an emergency, the method comprising: selecting a training device comprising: a frame having a header and a rectangular shaped saddle, and two vertical sides;a jamb on each vertical side of the frame;a left hand and a right hand inswing door placed in the frame, each door having an interior edge;a lock rail attached to each door and having an opening;a dead bolt having a proximal end mounted in each door through the opening and a distal end protruding from said door in a locked position relative to said frame;a rod attached to each interior edge and havingan upper and a lower end, the upper end of each rod movably mounted to the header and the lower end of each rod mounted to the saddle;a vise having a movable jaw mounted on a block, and a stationary jaw, the vise attached to the jamb on each vertical side such that the dead bolt is protruding from each door and between the stationary and movable jaw;means for tightening said movable jaw against said dead bolt; andadjacent to each interior edge, means for tensioning said door about said dead bolt, wherein the means for tensioning is a coil spring, such that said door initially pivots about said dead bolt as it is being forcibly opened;a grate pivotally mounted to said rectangular shaped saddle; andtwo wheels attached to each of the short sides of said rectangular saddle, wherein the two wheels on one of the short sides are each mounted on a swivel to form a caster;step for bracing said training device;positioning a person adjacent to the first edge and within an arm's length of the door;wedging a tool between the frame and said first edge of said door, and above or below the dead bolt;securing the tool between said frame and said door by striking its proximal end;rotating said tool;causing said door to initially pivot about said dead bolt; andmoving said dead bolt off of the surface. 18.
