How to Break Down a Door
__________________________________


Give the door a well-placed kick or two to the lock area to break it down.
Running at the door and slamming against it with your shoulder or body is not usually as effective as kicking with your foot. Your foot exerts more force than your shoulder, and you will be able to direct the force toward the area of the locking mechanism more succinctly with your foot.

Exterior doors are of sturdier construction than interior doors. Kick at the point where the lock is mounted.
