Thank you for your purchase and use of the BTI Breaching Door system. This innovative and patent pending training device provides realistic training scenarios that are discussed on the following pages. Warranty Your new BTI Training door includes a 1-year manufacturer's warranty that covers quality and workmanship or 1500 breaches, which ever comes first.
Shotgun Hinge Breaching Door Operation Your new breaching door, simulating a standard commercial or residential door, has been designed for the purpose of repeated forced entry training using a shotgun. Training with the BTI door accurately replicates the impact of a shotgun projectile on door hinges, locks, and knob hardware causing the door to yield and allowing entry.
Jamb Screw Hinge Panels With the door closed insert the hinge panels into their locations (as seen below). Make sure that the hook on the door traps the hinge. If there is resistance to loading the hinge panel reach through the gap in the side of the door and pull it fully closed (as seen in the picture below and to the right).
Door Breaching The BTI Shotgun Breaching Door has been designed to provide realistic training utilizing low cost blanks, birdshot, or game loads. More costly frangible ammo (AVON type) can be utilized if desired. Due to safety reasons, buckshot, steel shot and slugs are not recommended due to the increased potential for ricochets. For increased safety and door longevity, we recommend using BTI Frangible Shotgun Training Rounds on your new Shotgun Door.
Risk Mitigation Proper safety equipment and eye protection should be utilized at all times with this product. Blanks are the preferred shotgun load for the training doors as they effectively recreate the shotgun breaching process and substantially lower the likelihood of any accidental injury.
