Optional Carriage Head Bolt Cutting/Grinding Attachment
Our newest optional feature for the Challenger Forcible Entry Door is "The Carriage Bolt head grinding/cutting fixture" for use with your K-12 saw is used to practice grinding off carriage head bolts that are encountered on doors with drop bar brackets that use these types of bolts to secure the brackets to the doors. The fixture slides and secures into the existing plunge cut window channel in the door. The fixture can hold up to 42 bolts at one time, once the front plate is cut up it can be unbolted, turned over and the back side used. With an average of 6-8 cuts per hole before the front "consumable" plate needs to be replaced. That is an average of 504 cuts before replacement of the plate is needed (42 square holes x 2 sides = 84 x 6 cuts per hole = 504 cuts/bolts). The fixture comes with 2 plates for a total of 1008 cuts for only $349.00. Replacement plates can be ordered at $80.00 each plus shipping.
3rd Wheel Mobility System (patented)
This 3rd wheel mobility system allows for quick, safe and easier movement of the door with out any dis-assembly.
The door is also designed so that it can pass through standard exterior steel doors with widths measuring 34" or wider and heights of 82" or taller.
More info
The door uses very minimal and inexpensive consumables considering all of its functions. In fact it currently only cost an average of a little over $3.80 per student/FF to complete 10 of the features/functions on the simulator (not including store bought locks for the lock cutting/breaking simulator, the many different styles, sizes and strengths affect the cost)
Why buy multiple, expensive, and separate props when you can have eleven (11) of the most challenging and realistic forcible entry techniques all on one quality built system.
Most importantly it is completely mobile without any dis-assembly required. It is even shipped assembled with a 1 year craftsmanship warranty and an initial starter set of consumables, a $390.00 retail value.
