The most common forcible entry tools are rakes, sledge hammers, pry bars, axes and door rams.
Rakes: A rake is a tool with a long handle and metal teeth that can be used to pry open doors, windows, and other openings.
Sledge Hammer: A sledge hammer is a large and heavy hammer designed to break through walls and doors by delivering powerful blows that overcome the strength of a lock or hinges. Sledge Hammers are also available with Collapsible handles allowing for easier transport.
Pry Bar: A pry bar is a thin tool with a curved tip used to leverage objects apart. Pry Bars range in sizes from about 12 inches long to 3 feet. Collapsible Pry Bars are also available offering greater flexibility in transporting the tool as well as increased leverage. Pry Bars can be used to open locked doors or remove boards from windows.
Axe: An axe is a sharp-edged tool used for cutting wood or breaking into locked doors. It has an axe head at one end of the handle and can also be used to break glass if necessary.
Door Ram: A door ram is a device designed to force entry into buildings by smashing through wooden or metal doors. It typically consists of a large bar with handles on each end, allowing two people to use it together for maximum force. Smaller, single user door rams are available that way as little as 18 pounds.
