I can't say I've ever come across a door frame where the door jam was a separate piece but if I did I guess I could use any number of household items like a butter knife or a spatula or even a credit card if you own one.

That seems to be the perfect rigidity, especially running into high end homes, with proper caulking applied to the door stop. Cool video.

I work as a elevator Mech in NYC I have two of these ..works for me just fine I also made a "shove knife from a framing square ..learned it all from firemen

Cool. I’m putting a couple of nails in the architraves near the latch now.

It is a firefighter/leo tool used to gain access to buildings with causing damage to door frames and locks. Next option up from this is forcible entry, i.e. Halligan Bar with sledge hammer or flat head axe. Just a little FYI

Most interior doors nowadays are split jamb doors, in other words the jamb is made in two pieces for ease of installation. In these doors the stop that he slid the tool behind is not separate from the jamb, it's all one piece with the hinge side of the jamb. I've been a finish carpenter for over 20 years and every interior door I've installed has been this type.

if you stick a pick in the circular hole there is an unlock button inside lol

Good thing to know, you juste have to put multiple nails near the door latch on the trim so no tools fit behind

What happens when the good carpenter glued the door stop trim, and 30yrs of paint and there’s a nail right in front of bolt

[Snperalex]

Why are so many people talking bad about this tool. There is a reason you can’t find this at most places

[gregtipton]

Not on any door I installed it won't

[davidwerring]

Does this work on lever door office locks

[FSJR]

Where did you buy your info t see it on Amazon. But I see them on Firestore

[tylermallory]

You know what else works really well too, kicking the door in.

[brianohara]

Most people put a series of finish nails in the plate area, making your tool useless

[kyloren]

If all door frames were built like that cheap one you have it would work

[jessejuliano]

What happens when guys like me put a series of finishing nails in front so tools like that don't work?

In Europe the locks and doors are better build.
